As I listen (at this point, somewhat bemusedly) to the current debate regarding why more women are not entering chemistry careers, I can't help but be struck by the recent spate of ACS Arthur C. Cope Scholar Awards (C&EN, Feb. 20, page 38). The sea of (almost exclusively white) male faces needs no further comment. We all know that though awards can be political in nature, they are also used as a basis for advancement of young and midcareer scientists. If the chemistry community is serious about diversity, then it needs to publicly proclaim this fact in ways that go beyond words.
