The Division of Analytical Chemistry would like to reaffirm support for equality, social justice, and fairness for Black, Brown, and Indigenous scientists. We condemn racism, discrimination and harassment in all forms and are committed to embrace long-lasting, transformational change. In light of recent events in the US, we recognize that now is the time to seize upon momentum in addressing the challenges we face. The Division realizes that standing with our Black colleagues is not enough and we will strive to work with the community and address our shortcomings related to equality. We call on leaders in academia, state and federal government, private and nonprofit sectors to develop substantive and multi-pronged strategies to eliminate systemic racism in our community.
Feedback from the community is welcome.
The Division of Analytical Chemistry supports its members engaging in thoughtful and spirited discussions about important scientific and societal matters.
These exchanges often yield beneficial results when conducted within collegial environments that respect everyone concerned, regardless of their level of formal education and whether they are from industry, government or academia, or other scientific and engineering disciplines.
As chemical professionals, we strive to treat colleagues with respect, encourage them, learn with them, share ideas honestly, and give credit for their contributions.Â
To affirm our commitment, and in accordance with National ACS policy, we release the attached statement on harassment and sexual harassment.
