In the sixth episode of the Diversity in Science podcast series - produced in partnership with Nature - we look at addressing systemic racism in science and science systems.
Shirley Malcom and Adam Habib reflect on their long experience of working to tackle racism in higher education, exploring what works and what still needs to change, and Brittany Kamai shares her perspective on what we can all do to contribute to systemic change.
Finally, ISC President Daya Reddy shares information on the ISC\u2019s ongoing work on combating systemic racism and other forms of discrimination.\xa0
