The response to the post was positive with many expressing their eagerness to connect and echoing their frustration with the information gap.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result, Darcie Piechowski set up the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/groups\/12902538\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Women in Behavioural Science Community<\/mark><\/a> on LinkedIn, and the group is now thriving with over 900 members worldwide.

Despite this, the barriers that individuals of differing identities face \u2014 &nbsp;whether through systemic or personal bias \u2014 &nbsp;often go unchallenged.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Behavioural science has the power to go to the heart of issues and dismantle inequality, to cultivate sustainable change.
