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
