Scaling back DEI programmes and the loss of scientific talent

Abstract

Programmes that support diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in science are under attack in the USA. Data indicate that diversity in the scientific workforce increases creativity and success in tackling challenging problems. Loss of promising talent supported by these programmes will substantially weaken our research capacity, limit innovation and substantially reduce discoveries important for driving scientific advancements.
