He spoke with News Bureau life sciences editor Diana Yates about the problems associated with efforts to “train” the bias out of people and offers practical guidelines for those hoping to establish a more inclusive, welcoming atmosphere in their organizations. His report appears in the journal Policy Insights from the Behavioral and Brain Sciences.
