Commitment to Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion

I believe in equity, diversity, and inclusion—not as a formality, a checkbox, or something to say to get funding—but as a real, everyday practice that benefits our lab and the research we do.

EDI is not just a policy—it's part of how we work, how we treat each other, and how we grow. A diverse and inclusive environment brings different perspectives, encourages creativity, and leads to better science. More importantly, it creates a space where everyone feels they belong and can thrive.

This is something I will continue to prioritize and practice—no matter what external pressures or incentives exist. It's a core part of the lab’s values and something we work on together, not just talk about.
