increase engagement in science, technology, engineering, and math(STEM). Recent studies have made significant advances in unveiling LGBTQ+ inequities andmarginalization in STEM, such as disparate retention rates in STEM educational programs [1] andprofessional devaluation [2]. These emerging studies suggest that the LGBTQ+ community ismarginalized and that the LGBTQ+ community should be included in efforts to broaden participation inSTEM.Suitably, the number of grants awarded to study and support the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender,and queer (LGBTQ+) community in STEM fields has grown over the past few decades. For example, in2020, the NSF awarded the first-ever CAREER grant that explicitly included the acronym “LGBTQ” in theproposal title

engineering; that is,answering questions about models’ accuracy in replicating phenomena, and the usefulness ofsimulations in making public policy decisions. A mismatch between technology that is far advanced in brand new cars that are beingproduced today with older testing programs makes answers to these questions even morepressing. Although standardized for consistency, the interpretation of such testing programs maynot convey the safety results they claim with the certainty provided. From a marketingstandpoint, communicating that certainty with a level of affirmation is questionable. Consider,for example, the following statement describing the Hybrid III 5th Female dummy model. Thestatement is found on the website for Humanetics, one of the
