Introducing Diversity in Physics
Diversity in Physics is meant to provide a method for interjecting diversity easily into your classroom. Representation matters, so introducing a diverse physician at the beginning of each class or chapter can not only heighten visibility, but hopefully provide powerful role models for students of diverse backgrounds.
