David Asai’s Expertise I am committed to advancing equity in science and science education. I joined the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) in 2008 and, until my retirement in 2024, served as Senior Director of Inclusive Learning. At HHMI I led a team of 20+ persons in the design and implementation of science education initiatives including: Inclusive Excellence, Driving Change, the Gilliam graduate program, the Science Education Alliance, the HHMI Professors program, and the Scientific Mentorship Initiative. Prior to HHMI, I was a faculty member and department head in biolgy at Purdue University and Harvey Mudd College. The responsibility to advance equity is the responsibility of all of us who work in science and science education. This includes faculty, staff, and administrators who should: learn equity skills such as listening to understand and talking about cultural identities, redesign our introductory "gateway" courses and STEM curriculum, evaluate and reward effective and inclusive teaching and mentoring, and ensure that our definition of scientific excellence is centered on equity. I am a member of the National Academies committee that wrote the 2023 report Advancing Antiracism, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in STEMM.
