Ratherthan merely being “retained” as an individual within a (neutral) pipeline, a member of anecosystem is part of a group that thrives as an interdependent collective. Metrics for the health ofan ecosystem will naturally incorporate intersectionality and complexity beyond traditionalrecruitment & retention data [12].However, despite these positive shifts from the limits of the lockstep “pipeline” to the morecapacious and humane “ecosystem,” metaphors about fostering persistence and thriving are, as arule, largely confined to the realms of STEM.
