Closing the STEM Gap – Starting with the chemistry community
Diversity drives innovation: a simple phrase that inspired the creation of countless equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) initiatives. This is particularly true in STEM disciplines, where a significant lack of representation of women, members of visible minorities, Indigenous Peoples and persons with disabilities, persists.

A picture is worth a thousand words – Creating an inclusive lab webpage
Humans are visual beings; what we see can affect the way we think, feel, and act. Images have great power as they leave long-lasting impressions on the way we perceive our environment and greatly influence our behaviour. When used correctly, images can foster a sense of inclusion.
