In the piece, published April 28, 2022, Husbands Fealing and Incorvaia argue that developing effective policies to reduce underrepresentation in some STEM fields depends on more effectively accounting for underrepresented groups in a comprehensive and intersectional way while still protecting the privacy of these relatively small communities.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;If we can achieve this aim, we can better assess aspects of diversity and its benefits,\u0026rdquo; Husbands Fealing and Incorvaia wrote. \u0026ldquo;Downstream consequences are numerous, including the ability to create more accurate and evidence-based policies to achieve equitable outcomes for those represented in the data. We can also identify contributions these populations make to benefit the broader public. Other advantages follow, one being inspiring a future workforce whose identities match those in small-n populations, thereby creating a virtuous upward spiral of growth and increased representation.\u0026rdquo;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe commentary helps introduce a special edition of the journal focused on \u0026ldquo;The Value of Science.\u0026rdquo;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EHusbands Fealing is the \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/iac.gatech.edu\/news\/item\/652897\/husbands-fealing-appointed-vice-chair-advisory-committee\u0022\u003Evice-chair\u003C\/a\u003E of the National Science Foundation (NSF) Committee on Equal Opportunity in Science and Engineering.
