Robert Gropp, Executive Director, AIBS

Discussion:
Like many of your organizations, AIBS issued a statement “No Room for Racism and Injustice in Science or Society” on June 4, 2020. As we noted in our statement, one of the ways in which we think AIBS can help tackle systemic racism is to host a conversation with leaders of our membership to explore what different organizations are doing to combat racism and injustice in science or society. This discussion is one way for the AIBS Council to identify and share resources, and strategize to tackle a significant problem of common concern.
