The Black Microbiologists Association (BMA) was created in response to the sustained underrepresentation of Black people in microbiological education, training and research both here in the U.S. and globally. This exclusion leads to feelings of isolation, which are compounded by hostile training environments and racism faced in everyday life. Furthermore, Black expertise, voices, and perspectives are often devalued. As a result, cycles of marginalization and harm are perpetuated, which deprives our communities the benefits of scientific progress.

The Earth Science Women’s Network (ESWN) began informally in 2002, amongst a group of women atmospheric scientists from different institutions who recognized the need for more support and community amongst women scientists. ESWN’s mission is to support the scientists of today and welcome the scientists of tomorrow. Women and black, indigenous and people of color are importantly underrepresented in the geosciences/Earth sciences. As of 2020, women make up, on average, 20% of faculty in geoscience-related fields, nearly double the representation there was two decades ago. Even in disciplines with the majority of advanced degrees earned by women, senior and leadership positions are still dominated by men. Of the 40% of geosciences bachelor’s degrees earned by women in 2014, only 5% were earned by women of color. The number of PhDs awarded to geoscientists of color in the U.S. has seen little to no change in 40 years, demonstrating that efforts to counteract gender bias have failed to serve women of color, specifically, and people of color, generally.
