In this episode I talk about two different aspects of diversity in tech and in research software engineering in particular. First we hear from Jeremy Cohen, who has been running the DiveRSE seminar series since 2022 and is the co-author on a paper on the subject (link below). Then I talk to Michael McLeod, who is telling us about the role LGBTQ+ people play in tech.
