ASM’s Commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
°®¶¹´«Ã½ stands firm in its commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion, as such efforts are critical to advancing the microbial sciences for everyone. ASM opposes the assault on these values and rejects the characterization of these activities as “illegal.” Programs such as , MOSAIC and others are vital to making our field inclusive, which leads to more effective science and better health care. We will continue to support those programs and the values they represent, and will continue to push for federal support for them.ASM is dedicated to supporting and empowering our members and the entire microbial sciences community, particularly those who have fought so hard for visibility and belonging in the field. We are committed to promoting a future in the microbial sciences that honors the contributions of all individuals and to advocating for evidence-based public policies that serve the needs of the public and the scientific community alike. We value all of our members’ voices and perspectives. We have been, and always will be, an advocate for our members and our commitment to this is stronger than ever.
