We believe that science is strongest when it reflects the full richness of human experience.  We believe that research spaces must be welcoming to people of all identities, backgrounds, and lived realities.  We believe that the study of gender, race, identity, and health is not peripheral to science — it is essential to truth, to justice, and to discovery.

Our lab is committed to a research environment rooted in equity, dignity, and truth.  We believe that science, both the teaching of science and the practice of science research, is most effective as a diverse community of scholars.
