Abstract
Workforce More and more data on the issues surrounding diversity and inclusion in STEM are surfacing. Stockard et al. contribute to these data by providing evidence of inequities in experiences and career plans of doctoral students in chemistry. Using mixed-model regression analyses, they show that graduate students identifying as part of a traditionally underrepresented group were less likely to report supportive relationships with peers and postdocs. Women were less likely to (i) report supportive relationships with advisers, (ii) commit to remaining in chemistry, and (iii) aspire to academic research careers. Overall, the results suggest that the reality for traditionally underrepresented graduate students remains full of subtle obstacles, which are likely not specific to the chemistry field, that continue to impede efforts toward a diverse and inclusive scientific workforce.
