Scientific discovery relies on curiosity, creativity, innovation, and multiple perspectives. Our group is committed to fostering an inclusive environment where people from all backgrounds thrive, because our collective diversity empowers a diversity of ideas. We value and promote collaboration within and outside our group, and we celebrate/welcome multiple approaches and points of view. These guiding principles lead to excellence in research and promote a congenial environment.
