Although the workforce has become more diverse in recent years,there are still significant disparities in the representation of women, racial minorities, and otherhistorically underrepresented demographics [2,7-9]. Within the US, the dominance of White menin STEM flourished due to legal barriers that prevented access for other groups until the 1960s[2,7-9].
