Alveolates are a group of organisms recognized by the presence of alveoli, which are cytoplasmic sacs located beneath the cell membrane. While their function remains uncertain, alveoli may help regulate water balance by controlling how much water enters and leaves the cell. In dinoflagellates, these structures may serve as armor plates. There are three major types of alveolates: ciliates, which move using cilia; dinoflagellates, which use flagella for movement; and apicomplexans, which are...

Excavata is a diverse group of protists that includes both chemoorganotrophic and phototrophic species, with some thriving in anaerobic environments. Among the key groups within Excavata are diplomonads and parabasalids, which are flagellated protists that lack mitochondria and chloroplasts. These microorganisms typically inhabit anoxic environments, such as the intestines of animals, where they exist either symbiotically or as parasites, relying on fermentation for energy production. Some...

Rhizaria are a diverse group of unicellular protists characterized by their threadlike cytoplasmic extensions known as pseudopodia. These structures aid in both locomotion and feeding, giving Rhizaria an amoeboid appearance. Their amoeboid morphology once led to taxonomic confusion, but molecular phylogenetics has clarified their evolutionary placement and emphasized their shared use of pseudopodia despite divergent lineages.This clade comprises diverse lineages such as Chlorarachniophyta,...

Most altruistic behavior—in which one animal helps another at a cost to themselves—occurs between relatives. Scientists think these altruistic behaviors evolved because they increase the inclusive fitness of the animal providing help.

Amoebozoa represent a diverse group of terrestrial and aquatic protists that utilize lobe-shaped pseudopodia for locomotion and feeding. This characteristic differentiates them from the Rhizaria, which possess threadlike pseudopodia. The primary classifications within Amoebozoa include gymnamoebas, entamoebas, and the plasmodial and cellular slime molds. Phylogenetic evidence indicates that Amoebozoa diverged from a lineage that ultimately gave rise to fungi and animals.Gymnamoebas and...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Diversity in science, technology, engineering, and math faculty remains low. Structured programs for underrepresented minority (URM) postdocs can significantly improve faculty diversity in mathematical, physical, computer, and engineering sciences (MPCES).

Area of Science:

  • Mathematical, Physical, Computer, and Engineering Sciences (MPCES)
  • Higher Education
  • Faculty Diversity

Background:

  • Faculty diversity in U.S. 4-year universities' MPCES fields has stagnated over 50 years.
  • Despite affirmative action and investments, underrepresented minority (URM) representation in STEM academia remains low.
  • URM postdoctoral scholar appointments significantly lag behind URM representation in undergraduate and Ph.D. populations, hindering faculty diversity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explain the lack of progress in diversifying MPCES faculty.
  • To identify effective structural approaches for recruiting, developing, and identifying URM postdocs for faculty positions.
  • To propose scalable solutions to increase URM representation in MPCES faculty, particularly at research-intensive (R1) institutions.

Main Methods:

  • Comparative analysis of URM postdoctoral scholar appointments versus faculty diversity.
  • Evaluation of structured mentorship and career development programs for URM Ph.D. students and postdocs.
  • Case study of the California Alliance program involving UC Berkeley, UCLA, Caltech, and Stanford.

Main Results:

  • URM postdoc appointments are a key bottleneck for faculty diversity in MPCES.
  • Structured approaches, including collaborative recruitment, faculty engagement, inter-institutional exchanges, and community building, are effective.
  • The California Alliance program has successfully placed URM postdocs in tenure-track positions at R1 institutions.

Conclusions:

  • A significant "sea-change" in postdoc recruitment and career development is necessary to diversify MPCES faculty.
  • Scaling successful programs like the California Alliance to top URM Ph.D.-producing R1 institutions can impact 40% of the national URM postdoctoral population.
  • These interventions can substantially improve career prospects for URM students aspiring to leadership roles in STEM.
