Black researchers outline steps for action

“I say to my white colleagues: you have the most power in the geosciences; you benefit the most from racism and lack of diversity,” says geophysicist Vashan Wright. “It is therefore your job to fix the system. But I’ll help you.” He is one of six Black scientists who spoke to Nature about the effects of racism on their careers, their advice to white colleagues and their thoughts on meaningful institutional actions.
