The Neuroendocrinology and Behavior lab is committed to increasing initiatives for expanding diversity and for creating a workspace where all lab members feel included and valued, regardless of their age, race, color, ethnicity, national origin, citizenship status, socioeconomic status, religion, sex, gender identity or expression of that identity, sexual orientation, able-bodiedness, or mental health status. To this end, we designate lab meetings to discuss strategies to improve inclusion in STEM and continue to educate ourselves via relevant literature and training, such as ADVANCE-IMPACT. We share our values and knowledge with the broader academic community when possible: see this commentary by Dr. Cuarenta and this paper by Dr. Bangasser.
