Focus on diversity and inclusion in science

Focus on diversity and inclusion in science:

GREATER diversity and more equality in science must urgently be addressed, while more needs to be done to make the field accessible for different groups of people.

These and other issues, including adding indigenous knowledge, the power of language, ancient African Mathematics, older and younger lecturers and gender equality were among the topics addressed by both experts and student presenters at a pre-launch symposium to the National Science Week (NSW), which kicks off this weekend.
