Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and anti-racist work in the Spence Laboratory
We acknowledge (our) privilege(s), existing power structures and institutional racism, and use this as a call to action to examine how we build the scientific team in our laboratory.
We value diversity and diverse experiences. Our knowledge about, and interest in scientific problems is often guided by our experiences at home and in our communities. Having a diverse representation of people ensures we have a breadth of interests and personal experience guiding our scientific endeavors.
We are committed to anti-racist work - a commitment to acknowledging our privileged status(es) and doing the personal work to break down barriers to create a better laboratory, institution and society.
