“Have you ever wondered about how to respectfully ask about gender, race, or health conditions in a survey? Could you use some help in putting together demographic questions for your forms? Interested in learning more about personal pronouns? The ACS Inclusivity Style Guide is here to help. It is designed to provide definitions and explanations of terms and comes with references and examples of how to communicate inclusively. Inclusive communication expands your message’s reach and helps make ACS a welcoming environment for all. Check it out at acs.org/inclusivityguide. Any questions can be directed to mailto:ISG@acs.org. Note that this is the same resource recently added to the ACS Guide to Scholarly Communication but is also accessible on its own website with a slightly different user experience.” (Reprinted from Resources to Advance Your Career, ACS Matters newsletter, posted January 25, 2022.)
