Eight scientists who appeared in Nature's Changemaker series are to feature in a forthcoming podcast series

Careers editor Kendall Powell tells Deborah Daley, chair of Springer Nature’s Black Employee Network, about Nature’s Changemaker series.

Nature's 2022 special issue on racism in science spawned a follow-up Q&A series with researchers who champion inclusion in their workplace or community.

Now 8 of the 21 Changemakers who have appeared in the series so far revisit their stories in a podcast series that also explores their career journeys and the impact of their research.

Kendall Powell, the senior careers editor who launched the article series in May last year, explains how and why it came about, and the criteria for choosing a Changemaker.

“The inclusive practices that these researchers follow result in richer collaborations and ultimately better science,” Powell tells Deborah Daley, who is global chair of Springer Nature’s Black Employee Network, and the series host.
