Scientific disciplines face large diversity challenges, with the fields of ecology and evolution being among the most homogeneous-specifically with respect to race and ethnicity. These problems have been recently compounded by large-scale racial unrest, highlighting some of the underlying disparities that have led to these diversity challenges, and a global pandemic, which, by moving instruction online, has created new challenges for inclusive teaching. Among the inclusive-teaching techniques that can be implemented during remote instruction are Scientist Spotlights-role-model interventions that use available online materials to highlight the work of scientists representing multiple axes of diversity. We report here on the implementation of Scientist Spotlights in two courses, both of which emphasize ecology and evolution. We conclude with sample resources and suggestions for adopters.
各学科面临着巨大的多样性挑战，其中生态学和进化领域在种族和民族方面是最同质化的。最近，大规模的种族骚乱使这些问题更加复杂，凸显了导致这些多样性挑战的一些潜在差距，而一场全球大流行病通过将教学转移到线上，给包容性教学带来了新的挑战。在远程教学期间可以实施的包容性教学技巧中，有“科学家聚焦”——一种榜样干预措施，利用现有的在线材料来突出代表多元多样性的科学家的工作。我们在此报告在两门都强调生态学和进化的课程中实施“科学家聚焦”的情况。我们最后提供了示例资源和给采用者的建议。
