Visualize our lab as a place where people from different paths come together to explore, discover, and share ideas while celebrating and uplifting one another. Below are the beliefs and values that guide our laboratory community.

• Your unique perspective and creativity are necessary and valued.

• Science is more exciting and innovative when it is performed in a safe environment where everyone is encouraged to be their authentic self. 

• Everyone must be treated with respect and kindness.

• Science must be done with honesty, transparency, and integrity. 

• Mistakes are expected and are part of the scientific process. Growth happens when we can be open, reflect, and learn from them.

• Science can be challenging, and productivity can take many different forms.

• Everyone is expected to collaborate within and outside the laboratory.

• Everyone's path is different. We lead with respect, curiosity, and openness to learning from one another.
