Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

We ACKNOWLEDGE the systemic lack of diversity, equity, and inclusion in STEM.

We VALUE honesty, kindness, respect, and open-minded communication.

We CULTIVATE an inclusive working environment for scientists of all identities regardless of race, ethnicity or nationality; gender or sexuality; religious affiliation; and physical, mental or cognitive health.

We CELEBRATE the diversity of experiences and perspectives that make progress possible.

We PLEDGE to use our privileges and advantages to provide equitable access to science, training, and career development opportunities.
