We at BioLEC recognize the proven value of diversity promoting creativity, innovation and excellence in science and society. We are continuously working to increase inclusion in our center through initiatives like our Distinguished Post-Doctoral program, which requires 50% of appointees are female or from under-represented minorities, and strive to provide a welcoming environment for all researchers in which everyone can thrive across all our constituent institutions. The views expressed in the recent essay authored by Tomas Hudlicky and published in Angewandte Chemie run counter to our Center’s values, and those of the institutions to which our members belong.
