Last October, within the 2021 SMR congress, we held the inaugural Diversity in Science Session. The goal of the session was to discuss diversity, equity, and inclusion in the melanoma research community and strategies to promote the advancement of underrepresented melanoma researchers. An international survey was conducted to assess the diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) climate among researchers and clinicians within the Society for Melanoma Research (SMR). The findings suggest there are feelings and experiences of inequity, bias, and harassment within the melanoma community that correlate with one's gender, ethnic/racial group, and/or geographic location. Notably, significant reports of inequity in opportunity, discrimination, and sexual harassment demonstrate there is much work remaining to ensure all scientists in our community experience an academic workplace culture built on mutual respect, fair access, inclusion, and equitable opportunity.

黑色素瘤研究社区的多样性、公平性和包容性

去年 10 月，在 2021 年 SMR 大会期间，我们举办了首届科学多样性会议。会议的目的是讨论黑色素瘤研究社区的多样性、公平性和包容性，以及促进代表性不足的黑色素瘤研究人员进步的策略。进行了一项国际调查，以评估黑色素瘤研究协会 (SMR) 内的研究人员和临床医生之间的多样性、公平和包容 (DEI) 氛围。研究结果表明，在黑色素瘤社区中存在与性别、民族/种族群体和/或地理位置相关的不公平、偏见和骚扰的感受和经历。值得注意的是，关于机会不平等、歧视、
