ECCMID Shorts 2023: Making research more equitable

Infection Prevention in Conversation

Join Gemma Winzor (Editor in Chief, Infection Prevention in Practice) live from Copenhagen, Denmark, for the 33rd European Congress of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases (ECCMID 2023), 15-18 April 2023.

In this short, Prof. Jasmine R Marcelin (Infectious Diseases Physician and Associate Professor of Infectious Diseases at the University of Nebraska Medical Centre, USA) discusses bridging gaps in research equity, the importance of being intentional about including individuals from different backgrounds in all stages of research, how demographic intersectionality impacts how we approach our research and patients, and the myth of meritocracy.
