Science is for everyone.

We strive to make the lab a place where everyone is included and feels they can become the scientist they want to be. We all contribute to making our lab welcoming, and we actively seek ways to improve science culture and diversity in our lab, our department, our institution, and around the world.

Please join us in an ongoing conversation about how to improve science culture.

We are proudly members of the DEI initiative in the BMG Department named DEAR (Diversity, Equity, and Anti-Racism). You can find more information, along with other resources, here or feel free to ask any of us about it.

Below are some examples of events that we have held to encourage inclusion amongst the department
