It would be my pleasure.
An NFRF competition in 2019 was the first time I had to write a DEI section. The concept of people not having all of the same resources, or even experiencing racism and sexism, is not only not distant to me, but I've experienced all of these things ad nauseam. However, that means I don't want that idea to propagate in any way, shape or form.
I'm not going to judge a woman, a man, a gay person, a Black person or a straight person by anything other than whether or not they can do quantum mechanics. I said, “Great. I welcome everyone into my group. All you have to do is be geeky enough to want to do the quantum mechanics and build lasers.” I have five women in my group of 15 men, and they're all geeky women physicists. They're just like the geeky men. We're all the same.
