Abstract

TASP Newsletterhe three main goals of the ASP Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee are to (1) build a pipeline that overcomes structural barriers of entry for underrepresented groups of scientists who wish to engage in natural products research, (2) work with members of the ASP to create a more equitable, inclusive, and supportive community, and (3) recognize and highlight the contributions that members from underrepresented communities make to the ASP. In the summer of 2020, we published an article for the ASP Newsletter that described a series of actions to support these three goals. Here we provide an update on what the committee, the society, and the community have accomplished together in 2021– 2022 under the leadership of co-chairs Drs. Lesley-Ann Giddings and Christine Salomon.
