2020: The year of inclusion, scrapping labels, where previous divisions become archaic and dated. The promise of communities thriving from foundations built upon equality, diversity and inclusion. Why then is there still a lack of Black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) representation within Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM)? In this article, we showcase the experience of BAME scientists as it has progressed through the decades, before exploring the goals and possibilities for a future without inequality in science.
