Our inaugural EDI in the Mathematical Sciences day, held on November 8th, was well attended and featured talks from three speakers covering a range of issues.

Chad Topaz, Professor of Complex Systems at Williams College, opened the event with a fascinating talk on how data science have revealed injustices within both the judiciary and police forces within the US; a talk which stimulated lots of questions and discussion. Following up, Tiana Holgate spoke of her wide experience and knowledge of race related issues within the workplace and society as a whole; again, with great interaction and engagement from the audience. Finally, and with great confidence, two Mathematics Undergraduates from Warwick’s Autism Society, Helen Throp and Amy Rogers, spoke about neurodiversity - how this can affect a student's life and study at University, and what staff can do to improve this experience.

Overall the day was a great success and it is hoped this will become a yearly event.
