"The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated many structural inequities, intended or unintended, and highlighted the urgent need to integrate DEI practices into the U.S. policymaking process." β€” @phscientist @arorankita @chwistofu @sciencecalcul8r Read it here: doi.org/10.38126/JSPG170112

Inclusive Policymaking Tools: A COVID-19 Pandemic Case Study

It has become increasingly necessary to take this opportunity and intentionally codify diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices in the policymaking process.
