Exploring Equity, Diversity & Inclusion

In this podcast, Dr Jodi Watt, a postdoc at the University of Glasgow, discusses the importance of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) in research and academia with Dr Hamied Haroon and Dr Nikou Damestani.

They explore the challenges faced by individuals from diverse backgrounds in academia, the importance of allyship, and the need for more representation in research. They also highlight the impact of EDI on patients and the importance of considering diverse populations in research studies.

A key feature… the need for kindness and empathy in the scientific community and the importance of creating safe spaces for open discussions about EDI.
