We believe that diversity of thought, skills, and experiences is crucial to identify and solve important questions and challenges in research and society. Consequently, the Lammerding lab is committed to fostering a diverse and positive lab climate for all lab members and visitors. Towards this goal, we aim to (1) provide a safe and equitable environment built on mutual respect; (2) create and maintain a culture of support and inclusion; (3) respect individual needs, styles, and career goals, and mentor accordingly; (4) stimulate and share multiple ways of thinking, fostering creativity and innovation; (5) encourage leadership and mentoring; and (6) celebrate and use our differences to better our science, science education, and outreach efforts.
