Data Science for Health Equity has launched a new blog series on making technical reports and research projects accessible! 👀 The series breaking down complex topics into easy-to-understand content, with a focus on health equity and data science. Their first post covers the Whitehead Review recommendations on equity in medical devices. https://lnkd.in/eVa7dXVa
EDIS
Non-profit Organizations
We are a coalition building a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive science and health research sector.
About us
Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion in Science and Health (EDIS) is a coalition of organisations from across the UK science and health research sector building a fairer, more inclusive research system. Through our coalition, we transform exclusionary cultures, values, systems and structures across the science and health research sector. We believe that science and health research – and its benefits – should be for everyone.

New research shows that science communicators from marginalised backgrounds challenge STEM cultural norms. 🤔 An open-access paper in the Journal of Science Communications outlines the critical need for science communication training that accounts for historical oppression and discrimination. The paper summarises research into how marginalised scientists' identities influence their science communication practices, finding that marginalised scientists aim to change the culture of STEM through their communications. https://lnkd.in/e7zTEhPw

How can we equitably care for Indigenous nonhuman genomic data? A new article in Science Magazine explores the ethical considerations of collecting nonhuman genomic data that is guarded by Indigenous peoples. The article outlines how genomic data collected from animals, plants and fossils under Indigenous guardianship are routinely shared through open access platforms such as GenBank, which can exacerbate historical inequalities that push Indigenous researchers to the periphery. https://lnkd.in/g67CXdAq

Interested in learning about ethical public engagement with research? 🤝 A new open access paper delves into a collaborative effort to address the ethical implications of public involvement in research. The paper also provides three tools: a taxonomy outlining key terms, a self-assessment tool to evaluate the need for formal ethical review, and a code of conduct for ethical public engagement. https://lnkd.in/dSQ9B7hC

What does belonging mean in STEM? 🤔 A new open access publication by UCL Press brings together scholars, teachers, practitioners, and students to explore belonging and identity in STEM fields. Among other things, the book explores how positivitist approaches and a focus on numerical data can lead to assumptions that STEM is unemotional and impersonal, which can be exclusionary. https://lnkd.in/e969Drnq
