“…This friction is not always over content but because of persistent stereotypes of scientists on TV, friction may also occur over appearances. Standing up against the white male in a lab coat stereotype to change the face of science should not be a challenge for geoscientists, where female participation is steadily increasing (Holmes et al, 2008;American Geosciences Institute, 2014) and whose work is often outdoors in very interesting landscapes around the world. Jargon on the other hand can be a challenge, as it can be difficult to recognize what constitutes jargon in the geosciences where researchers may not be aware that they are using complex vocabulary.…”

“…There are no data of the degree to which minorities communicate the geosciences, but given that geoscience itself is male-dominated (Holmes et al, 2008), it is likely that there are more male than female geoscientists on TV. When more female and non-caucasian researchers act as experts on television, minorities may be encouraged to choose a career in science, potentially leading to a bigger and more diverse pool of future geoscientists.…”

“…Publications and programs associated with the American Geosciences Institute, the U.S. National Science Foundation, and the International Association for Geoscience Diversity (IAGD), as well as technical sessions and diversity receptions at geoscience society meetings, are promoting geoscience diversity. While these efforts to diversify the geoscience workforce have improved awareness and generated programs aimed at increasing graduation rates across genders [Holmes et al, 2008] and ethnicities [O'Connell and Holmes, 2011], people with physical disabilities continue to be underrepresented in the geoscience workforce [Locke, 2005;Atchison and Martinez-Frias, 2012].…”

“…According to the ROSE study, girls show higher levels of interest across the sciences, including on geoscience-related topics [24]. Yet-again reflecting general trends across the sciences-by the time those interested children have grown up and found jobs, the girls will have disproportionally left the field [36] [37].…”
