First and foremost, in our lab we value diversity in all its forms and dimensions. We value cultural, racial, socioeconomic and biological diversity and respect each person’s identity, background, status, abilities and opinions. We believe we all have space to learn and grow from each other’s experiences. Thus, our lab is committed to creating an inclusive, equitable, accessible, welcoming and safe environment. As such, our lab has zero tolerance for any form of discrimination. Our lab is here to help you advance your career and goals. So you need to be self-motivated, curious, kind, open-minded, productive, and eager to learn. Graduate school is a space to challenge yourself and become an expert; this is your path, and I am here to help you define and walk the first steps of it. This is the time to think big, take risks, and learn from your mistakes and successes. If you want to know more about our lab, expectations, and what it means to be part of our team, please read our Lab Culture.
