It's spring break 2025, and that means it's time for the second Nerd Sleepover! This episode comes to you from an Airbnb in beautiful Indianapolis, where host Heather Bernt-Santy gathered with some of her very favorite nerds. In this episode, we discuss challenges to "DEI"--what if we said the words every time instead of hiding behind the acronym? What's the "other side" of diversity, equity, and inclusion?
