🎙️✨ Welcome to another episode of Revise and Resubmit! ✨🎙️
Today’s episode is called “Made Better by Others?”—and trust us, you’ll want to lean in for this one.
Imagine walking into a hospital, not knowing the people behind the scenes. Now imagine learning that the diversity of your doctor’s colleagues could actually affect your health outcomes—your hospital bill, your length of stay, even your chances of going home sooner. 📉🏥💸
Today, we dive into a groundbreaking study authored by Deepa Goradia and Kris Byron, published in the prestigious Production and Operations Management journal—yes, one of the FT50 heavyweights. 🏆📚 This isn’t just another paper about workplace inclusion. This is a data-rich exploration—over 10 million patients, 25,000 physicians, 4 years, and 240 hospitals—all coming together to ask: Does the diversity of your team truly make you better at your job?
Through the lens of gender diversity and specialization diversity, we uncover surprising patterns:
👩⚕️👨⚕️ Gender-diverse teams shine brighter in focused departments.
🧠🔬 Specialization-diverse teams thrive in departments where focus is spread wide.
This isn’t just about management theory—it’s about the pulse of real patient care. 💡💉
🙏 A huge thank you to the authors Deepa Goradia and Kris Byron, and to SAGE Publications for supporting this essential research. And remember, this paper isn't just published—it’s published in an FT50 journal. That’s the academic equivalent of a Grammy win. 🏅📖
💬 But here’s the question that’s still echoing in our minds:
If being surrounded by difference makes us better, then what happens when we surround ourselves with only those who are just like us? 🤔🌐
🎧 If that sparked your curiosity, don’t forget to subscribe to “Revise and Resubmit” on Spotify, hit that bell on our YouTube channel “Weekend Researcher”, and catch us on Amazon Prime and Apple Podcasts too. 📱🍎📺
🚀 Because the future of research deserves a bigger stage—and you’re on it.
