Medical Pearls from the Internet Medical Association


The editors of this journal, Cell, state that they are all white and thus black scientists are under-represented on not only the editorial board but also among the peer reviewers, authors, and advisory board for the journal.

Comment: The authors make thoughtful points, however, their comments are highly US centric and thus their attempts to extrapolate this and make it a global issue might not be appropriate. Nevertheless, they should be commended for setting out a concrete action plan to address racism within their journal moving forward.
