Apoorva Mandavilli went to ScienceWriters2013 and saw lots of people who looked nothing like her, and that may harm science journalism, she writes in Matter: "If you’re a young, white science journalist with good taste in eyeglass frames and dirty-blond hair, congratulations! You could have walked into any conversation in any room at the conference and felt instantly at home. I was born and raised in India, and look the part, so I wasn’t engaged in any mirroring."
