Diversity Resource
Page:
· On http://jinaweb.org/html/diversityplan.html, replace the entire heading “Joint institute ….. Diversity Plan” with “Diversity and Inclusion”
· Keep the paragraph of text in place.
· Add a second paragraph: “We encourage you to explore the tools, resources, data, and research below that we found to be helpful for rising awareness, and for creating a diverse and inclusive research and teaching environment in nuclear astrophysics.”
· Then I would just add the material below. I think its ok to have it all on one page but if you think subpages are better we can of course do that.

Advising/Mentoring/Teaching
·
Take the implicit bias
test to see if you
associate one gender more with science
· Mentoring Tips from Science
· After writing a recommendation letter, switch all pronouns and reread it. More tips from U Arizona
· Pay attention to dynamics during group meetings. Are some members interrupted more than others? Are ideas being attributed to the correct person? Record one or two meetings and listen for instances. More tips from Brown University
· Encourage women and under represented minorities (including yourself if applicable) to sign up for APS speaker lists

Conference Speaker Gender
Balance
·
Use the JINA-CEE conference code of conduct and have participants acknowledge it
[Note: I don’t think we have that anywhere public. It would be good to post in
on a separate page and then link it from “JINA-CEE conference code of conduct”
in the above. It can be found for example here: https://indico.fnal.gov/event/15487/page/7 - the
names of contact organizers should be replaced by placeholders]
