@Hawkwinter @academicchatter @abolisyonista @taoish I think this is a problem ORCID was designed to solve. From their DEI page: "By virtue of the fact that we provide a name-independent person identifier for researchers, ORCID inherently encourages inclusivity and equitable treatment of those whose names are more likely to change over their careers, for example, transgendered people, and women in cultures where it is traditional for them to change names upon marriage."
