Quite out of the blue I was asked if I was willing to give a talk about EDI to an audience of PhD students in a programme dealing with pathogens. I was! But then I had to think about what to talk about. Equity, diversity and inclusivity are rather broad topics altogether.
I decided to go rather applied. I gave examples of the wide range of EDI. Pointed out in what way they could come into contact with it. Suggested ways in which they could contribute to EDI in their various academic institutions. Pointed them in the direction of where hard data can be found. Such things! I only had half an hour, and I wanted to leave sometime for questions, so that was most of it already.
Luckily, term had not started yet. So I could find time for it in between (and after) my exam marking. I hope it was useful! I got fewer questions than I had hoped. But I tried!
