I am very disturbed and disappointed by Prof. Hudlickly's comments in this article in @angew_chem where he makes the case that “diversity of the workforce” has a ”negative impact” on the field of organic synthesis (see the ridiculous figure!) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.10… 
The insinuation he makes is that providing support of under-represented individuals and inclusion practices “results in discrimination against the most meritorious” individuals is ridiculous. This is completely preposterous! 2/x
As an experienced recruiter and a leader of a chemistry group in the pharmaceutical sector, I can tell you that these views are not only factually wrong, they represent the exact types of biases that the field has been trying to overcome. I encourage other leaders to denounce it!
