In our pursuit of knowledge, we encourage an environment of collaboration, open communication, and trust, which welcomes diversity and respects differences of opinion. It is these principles that allow us to discover new ways of thinking and behaving, which lead to innovation and scientific success. Division and exclusion based on race, age, color, disability, faith, religion, ancestry, national origin, citizenship, sex, sexual orientation, social class, economic class, ethnicity, gender identity, and gender expression have no place in the pursuit of science. Not only is it imperative to include equity and inclusivity in the lab on a moral level, there is evidence for synergy in having a diverse research team with different opinions and ideas when doing science. As a lab, our objective is to be inclusive in all our practices, especially in recruiting, training, mentoring, and evaluations. Everyone deserves to be treated equally and fairly.
