We strive to provide an environment that will enable our members to reach their highest potential, advance our research goals, and develop the next generation of scientists, physicians, innovators, and leaders. To this end, we seek:

• to uphold a high standard for mutually respectful behavior and conduct.
• to learn about, accept, provide space for, and empathize with the lived experience of our colleagues and to work towards inclusivity and against bias and prejudice.
• to create a culture of belonging and safety, with space for differing ideas and perspectives and open discussion.
• to promote an environment of learning and curiosity, without fear of repercussions for not knowing something about science, cultural differences, or other topics, or for making mistakes.
• to challenge one another to improve our work, and to support one another in doing so.
• to operate with a high degree of scientific integrity and according to a high ethical standard, truthfully reporting our data so that it can be replicated by other scientists and move the field forward.
• to operate with a high degree of professional integrity and personal responsibility.

This page is intended to be a living document, which will be updated regularly with input from the lab.
