Just make sure your grant says your research is designed to help white males and you’re golden.
No seriously the whole reason you need diversity in HSR is to correct inherent biases in the data due to under-representation of certain demographics, not to mention the fact that there are actual physical differences between demographic groups (sex, age, race, etc) which must be accounted for if you want the science to be generally applicable. Diversity in science is _not_ about giving a leg up to underprivileged persons (though that’s a good thing).
- inciampati 2y agoGenetic diversity is a scientifically measurable feature of an organism or population, often diversity is stylized as π. I've heard of grants that mention this diversity in terms of mouse populations which are currently frozen. The solution is to talk about 1-π, or "purity". Scientifically the same. Politically acceptable. lol
