The Problem
Brilliant scientists still face:
-
Mental, physical, and emotional exhaustion from excessive and prolonged stress.
This can make a career in science feel unsustainable.
-
Self-doubt and perceived incompetence, despite being high-performing and exceptionally skilled.
This can make career challenges feel insurmountable.
-
Lacking commonality, encouragement, and support from mentors or peers.
This can cause feelings of alienation and despair.
-
Overall low retention and advancement of scientists from a diversity of backgrounds.
This limits the representation of role models in science, and “you can’t be what you can’t see.”
These stem from systemic barriers like discrimination, financial insecurity, and microaggressions, among many others.
They disproportionately impact scientists from historically excluded groups and lead to loss of talent.
