Anne Marie Conlon’s Career Feature on scientists balancing work and faith (Nature 629, 957–959; 2024) mentions studies, by sociologist Elaine Howard Ecklund, that find that religious scientists tend to avoid discussing their faith at work. Ecklund argues that rejecting religious scientists could hinder diversity in science, particularly because women and people of colour are more likely to identify as religious.
