(Un)conscious Bias in the Astronomical Profession: Universal Recommendations to improve Fairness, Inclusiveness, and Representation
Abstract
(Un)conscious bias affects every aspect of the astronomical profession and is the main hurdle to achieving excellence. STScI has constructed tools to raise awareness and designed guidelines and goals to increase diversity. We generalize to universal recommendations that will increase diversity, inclusiveness and fairness in Astronomy as a whole.
