The article underscores the lessons from Galileo's trial, highlighting the current erosion of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts in American science. As prominent institutions like NASA and several government departments revise their stances on DEI, the article calls for scientists to resist this trend. It emphasizes that diversity is essential for scientific validity, particularly in research fields like clinical and social sciences, where diverse participant representation affects research outcomes. Activism for inclusion in science is crucial now, as waiting out adversity could lead to long-term detrimental effects on research integrity.
Eppur si muove; scientists must advocate for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the face of ideological inerrancy and the current war on DEI.
Many scientific organizations are capitulating under pressure by removing DEI references, which undermines the integrity of research and the scientific process.
