Rural individuals are underrepresented in science at all levels. The disenfranchisement of rural people in science and research foments a cultural divide between rural America and the scientific community. Science can improve inclusion of rural individuals by removing barriers in academia that disfavor those from first-generation and low-socioeconomic backgrounds.
农村人在各个层次的科学领域都代表性不足。农村人在科学和研究中被剥夺权利，这在一定程度上加剧了美国农村地区与科学界之间的文化隔阂。科学可以通过消除学术界中不利于第一代和低收入背景的人的障碍，从而提高农村个体的包容性。
