to marginalized groups, who are often underrepresented in various fields, especially in STEM fields. Underrepresented groups (women, people of color, LGBTQ+ individuals, disabled individuals) face greater biases, and typically leave STEM fields at higher rates
than majority groups. This session will provide a deeper understanding of bias, including systemic bias, which exists within the larger system of implicit biases and stereotypes prevalent in our society and in academia. This session will offer guidelines on
how to promote a more inclusive and equitable culture and work environment.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
