Description
Multimessenger astronomy relies on the principles of cooperation and collaboration to make previously impossible discoveries. The Multimessenger Diversity Network (MDN) is applying these same principles to increasing diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) in the field. The MDN, a community of practice with a dozen participating collaborations, focuses on improving DEIA within collaborations themselves with the intent of improving the environment in which multimesenger astronomy is conducted. This talk will review the current state of DEIA in multimessenger astronomy, highlight the role and work of the MDN, and provide examples of efforts underway to improve DEIA in the field.
