TReNDS' Manager, Hayden Dahmm, was recently featured on "Working Scientist," a podcast series co-hosted by Nature and the International Science Council on the topic of diversity in science.
This series highlights all aspects of diversity in science – asking why diversity matters, why diversity makes for better science, how to integrate diverse voices and different perspectives in research, and how to promote inclusion of less well-represented or marginalized groups in science settings, including women, people of color, LGBTQ people, people with disabilities, and people who take a non-traditional route into science.
In the episode, Hayden discusses the importance of gridded population data and having accurate and timely data on persons with disabilities, as well as shares his perspective on how to make sustainable development practices more inclusive.
