We are committed to making our laboratory a welcoming and inclusive environment, therefore,
- We read and discuss articles about diversity and anti-racism in science and engineering
- We reflect on our own biases and prejudices
- We hear and acknowledge that others life experiences are different than our own
- We appreciate that this is a training environment and assist one another in acquiring new skills and knowledge
- We strive to make our wider scientific community a place where everyone (including women, immigrants, LGBTQI+, people with disabilities, and Black, Indigenous and People of Color) can thrive
Recent books we have read and discussed include:
- How to Be an Antiracist (Ibram X. Kendi)
- Superior: The Return of Race Science (Angela Saini)
- The Disordered Cosmos: A Journey into Dark Matter, Spacetime, and Dreams Deferred (Chanda Prescod-Weinstein)
