Lab DEI statement

7/13/2020

 
​During the #ShutDownAcademia #ShutDownSTEM #Strike4BlackLives and #Academics4BlackLives movements, we spent time confronting and reflecting on the historical and systemic racism faced by Black people in our world and in our in educational system. To make the beliefs of our lab group explicit for current and future members, we have written a statement on our diversity, equity, and inclusion values and our commitment to continuous ally-ship.
 

In this lab, we believe: science is real (microscope image), love is love (rainbow anatomical heart), black lives matter (brown raised fist), feminism is for everyone (female symbol), microbes are cool (single-celled organisms), immigrants are welcome (statue of liberty).

This poster represents our pledge and commitment to continuous allyship, with original image c/o Sammy Katta (https://sammykatta.com/diversity).
