As scientists and engineers, we must recognize the overwhelming evidence that we each harbor bias that influences our professional decisions. Yet, solving today's increasingly complex public health challenges requires diverse perspectives from multidisciplinary teams. We all have the opportunity to actively promote a more representative scientific community; let's harness the power of collective action to build diverse teams that deliver the most innovative science.
作为科学家和工程师,我们必须认识到一个压倒性的事实,即我们每个人都存在偏见,这些偏见会影响我们的专业决策。然而,要解决当今日益复杂的公共卫生挑战,需要来自多学科团队的多元化视角。我们都有机会积极推动一个更具代表性的科学界;让我们利用集体行动的力量,组建多元化的团队,推动最具创新性的科学发展。
