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.
