Increasingly, curricular materials for undergraduate life science courses are designed to highlight scientists with identities and backgrounds that counter historical stereotypical representation in science. In this essay, we characterize the wide variation development implementation of these featuring counterstereotypical scientists. Applying Social Ecological Model Behavior Change as a framework, examine both personal social elements benefits costs related designing implementing curricula from perspective three groups: students, instructors, featured The students well documented, consider how may likewise benefit instructors themselves. However, emphasize that, if not developed implemented attention diversity personal, social, contextual factors, such well-intentioned efforts be ineffective or impact groups inadvertent ways. Finally, offer recommendations highlighting curricula. We call additional research effectively develop implement ways maximize limit possible
