Infographic for Chapter 4: SCIENTISTS ARE PEOPLE, TOO: A CRITICAL REVIEW OF SCIENCE, Bias within Science
Compiled by Sabrina Rentschler, Miguel Barranco, Carmen Conroy, Cat Link, Claire Lee, and Colin Wang
This graphic shows the historical basis for biases in the sciences, and explains the many ways in which these biases manifest themselves--in research, in scientific vocabulary, in stereotypes, and in outreach (or lack thereof) to traditionally marginalized demographics in the STEM community, such as women. It concludes with a partial list of resources available to UC Berkeley students to help overcome these biases to advance as professional scientists.
