Database seeking to help to diversify chemistry gathers pace

The Diversify Chemistry website – launched in August by University of Michigan polymer chemist Anne McNeil to help academic faculty search panels, symposium organisers and award committees identify chemists who might diversify their talent pools – has been well-received by the chemical sciences community. At three months old, Diversify Chemistry contains the names of more than 230 chemists who have self-reported as belonging to an underrepresented minority group.
