We are constantly assessing new ways to promote equity at all levels, increasing the diversity of perspectives in science, and our chief endeavor is to make our lab an example of inclusion and success for everyone, aiming to eradicate discrimination in academia.
Our lab’s CoReCoDe is a conceptual and actionable platform aimed to help us achieve our goal of improving EDI in the scientific community. I strive to achieve this by encouraging and supporting my mentees’ careers; and by fomenting a lab culture of Communicating the importance of our research to both scientists and non-scientists, Recruiting students forming future researchers acknowledging that excellence can only be achieved through diversity of perspectives, fostering Connections between students at all levels and researchers at all levels
(undergrads, techs, grads, postdocs, collaborators, etc.) including annotated lists of resources (e.g. funding opportunities at each stage), and investing heavily in the Development of students both in their research skills in different settings, and in their work-life balance.
