What Others are Saying

"Even though heterogeneity is the key ingredient to success—with diverse teams being more productive and creative than non-diverse teams, it’s all for not if the members of those diverse teams don’t feel their differences are celebrated or valued. We need both, diversity and inclusion to reach our full potential."

Benjamin Fiore-Walker, PhD

Benjamin Fiore-Walker, PhD, Manager, Department of Diversity Programs American Chemical Society, Supporting Sponsor
