Declarations

:

: Renan GL da Silva is a postdoctoral researcher in the Health Ethics and Policy Lab at the Department of Health Sciences and Technology, ETH Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland. His research focuses on the social, ethical, and political issues related to the introduction of emerging technologies in biomedical research and innovation in multiple organizational settings. Recently, da Silva is dedicated to the empirical study of practices and interventions driving the expert knowledge production in Bioengineering-related domains (e.g., Molecular Systems Engineering), responsive bionanomaterials, self-driving labs and precision medicine.

: The author applied general principles present in the Sex and Gender Equity in Research (SAGER) Guideline [] for reporting of sex and gender information in all versions of the manuscript concept and design, literature review, and interpretation of data. Since this is a debate article, no empirical data collection and analysis was performed. However, attention was dedicated to provide fair representation of gender, race and ethnicity in the selection of studies to be discussed. As a Latino Scholar and first generation academic in my family, I have experienced many situations in which ethnic and gender issues in academic environment has been completely gaslighted. Then, I valuate and appreciate such initiative that might shed light to this issue among the team of authors and reviewers of this respected publication.
