This is a Google Notebook LM Audio Overview (i.e., "deep dive" discussion) of an article published in the Journal of Geoscience Education, "Developing scientists as champions of diversity to transform the geosciences."  The article outlines the need for transformation in the geosciences and details professional development workshop through the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geo Opportunities for Leadership in Diversity (GOLD) program. The core premise is that senior geoscientists can become "champions of diversity" by cultivating positive attitudes towards "the other" (allophilia) and actively implementing change within their local "communities of practice" (CoPs). Preliminary results from the inaugural GOLD Institute indicate that participants held high allophilia scores and undertook various actions—categorized as "bridges," "events," and "brokers"—to promote broadening participation in their workplaces. The study suggests that structured training can effectively activate geoscientists eager to lead positive change, emphasizing the importance of ongoing support for these champions.
