note = "Funding Information: For example, schools outreach and recruitment of interns can be targeted on ethnically diverse and economically disadvantaged communities. Those running fellowship or grant programmes in Europe and Asia could follow the example of NIH and NSF and apportion some of the funding specifically to support students, postdocs or young faculty from minority backgrounds. Those of us working in relatively mono‐cultural settings, such as Finland where I am currently located, can contribute by making strenuous efforts at recruiting internationally, thus helping to create role models for currently marginalized groups in the local environment. It is obviously to the good for host communities to learn that some of the dark‐skinned faces amongst them are not refugees fleeing from some war‐ravaged land, but are highly trained scientific experts (whilst some, of course, could be both, deserving of our respect on both counts). Just giving pride of place to minority postdocs to represent the lab at international meetings can also make an impact. Copyright: Copyright 2020 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.",
