Within the Anslyn Research Laboratories, we value creating a safe, accepting, unprejudiced, working environment consisting of a culturally, ethnically, and socially broad group. We vow to respect everyone’s individuality and promise that your personal identity and/or experiences will not alter your learning or ability to work within our laboratory. As a group, we believe that contrasting opinions from individuals of unique backgrounds is key for the creativity of science, and that acceptance is essential for creating a safe environment for all people to be successful. As the research advisor, I strive to have a fair and impartial learning and working environment that allows all people to reach their fullest potential as scientists.
