This article proposes ways to improve inclusion and training in microbiome science and advocates for resource expansion to improve scientific capacity across institutions and countries. Specifically, we urge mentors, collaborators, and decision-makers to commit to inclusive and accessible research and training that improves the quality of microbiome science and begins to rectify long-standing inequities imposed by wealth disparities and racism that stall scientific progress.
本文提出了改善微生物组科学领域的包容性和培训的方法，并主张扩大资源以提高各机构和国家的科研能力。具体而言，我们敦促导师、合作者和决策者致力于开展具有包容性且易于参与的研究与培训，以提高微生物组科学的质量，并着手纠正由财富差距和种族主义造成的长期不平等现象，这些不平等阻碍了科学进步。
