Black in Physiology (BiP) was birthed in the summer of 2020 as the realization of a double pandemic ensued. In the midst of multiplying racial injustices and the calamities associated with COVID-19, six Black physiologists joined forces and committed to both nurturing and celebrating black excellence within the physiology community. Insistent that BiP be the change that is needed to address systemic issues within the physiology community and science as a whole, these pioneers intentionally created an organization with a vision of addressing a void present in the scientific community – the authentic intention to recruit, retain and promote Black Physiologists. The BiP community now serves as an inclusive space not only for those who consider themselves Black and African American scientists in physiology or physiology-related fields but also supporters, allies, advocates and accomplices. Together, BiP is dedicated to fortifying a community of Black Physiologists by enhancing visibility and ensuring that resources, support and guidance are readily accessible.
