OUT AND PROUD: Celebrating LGBTQ+ chemists

A recent study by Jeremy B. Yoder of California State University, Northridge, and coworkers found that LGBTQ+ scientists, including asexual scientists, who are not out at work publish fewer papers than a comparison group of straight and cisgender scientists (PLOS One 2022, DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0263728).

The consequences of the closet, therefore, are real and measurable, and they impede scientific progress. -- c&en
