About LabXChange
Harvard University's LabXchange is a free online platform for science education. LabXchange strives to make science accessible to anyone, anywhere, through interactive digital learning resources and collaborative features, and brings together learners, educators, and researchers to discover and engage in the process of teaching and learning science. To learn more, visit https://about.labxchange.org/.

The Racial Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Science Education (RDEISE) project advances racial equity and inclusion in healthcare, education, and STEM fields through free, online teaching resources. These educational materials, which are being developed by leading scholars from HBCUs, Harvard, and other institutions, will equip high school and college educators to address these topics as part of a standard science curriculum, and challenge the perception that science is independent of social issues. The project focuses on developing two learning clusters. The first learning cluster, Racism as a Public Health Crisis, will increase public awareness of racial health disparities, and teach the critical thinking skills needed to dismantle the structures that perpetuate these inequities. The second cluster, Inclusive and Antiracist Teaching Strategies, will empower educators with the skills, knowledge, and tools to close opportunity and retention gaps in science education.
