“Outsiders at the Table”—Diversity Lessons from the Biology Scholars Program at the University of California, Berkeley

Abstract

The Biology Scholars Program at the University of California, Berkeley, provides evidence that the science community needs to 1) change the climate of STEM undergraduate education, 2) rethink the conventional notion of “STEM talent” and how we invest resources to diversify STEM, and 3) focus on “fixing our institutions, not our students.”
