We value the unique experience and background every person brings to the group. We listen actively, pose questions, and treat each other with respect. We believe the group dynamic plays an important role in our scientific trajectory.
In weekly lab meetings, we share our research ideas, discoveries, and challenges. We consider foundational contributions and new developments in our fields by reading and evaluating a wide range of scientific papers and books. We discuss how to foster inclusion in our group, our department, and our university.
We present our findings in peer-reviewed journals and at scientific conferences, including those sponsored by the Genetics Society of America, the Society for the Study of Evolution, and the Society for Molecular Biology and Evolution.
We love science. We marvel at the thrill of discovery, the power of the scientific method, and the wonders of nature.
