Congratulations to the recipients of the 2022 Inclusiveness, Diversity, Equity, and Access (IDEA) Award, PhD candidates Suchinta Arif and Melanie Duc Bo Massey, cofounders of the scientific outreach organization Diversity of Nature (DoN). Arif and Massey founded Diversity of Nature at Dalhousie University (Nova Scotia, Canada) in 2020. DoN is specifically designed to be led by BIPOC scientists and aimed at BIPOC youth, with the goal of increasing BIPOC representation in the natural sciences. DoN’s array of inclusive programming includes panels, workshops, and an annual field camp, all free of charge to participants. Arif and Massey have also led publications on actionable guidance for supporting and retaining underrepresented students in evolution and ecology and accrued impressive portfolios of additional teaching, outreach, and DEI-related activities. Thank you Suchinta and Melanie for your dedication to increasing BIPOC representation in the natural sciences!
