Code of Conduct

We want the lab to be a space where everyone feels respected and safe. That doesn’t mean we always have to agree—but it does mean we treat each other kindly and professionally.

- Speak and act with respect, even when there are disagreements.

- Harassment, discrimination, bullying or hurtful behavior of any kind won’t be tolerated (zero tolerance). If you ever experience something, please talk to me. I’ll support you. If needed I will fight for you. You can also report it directly to the university. Please check (https://www.ualberta.ca/en/human-resources-health-safety-environment/employment-information/ethical-conduct/discrimination-and-harassment.html).

- Being honest is one of the most important things in any professional relationship. No matter what, stay honest and respectful. Use polite language, even when you're frustrated. Avoid passive-aggressive comments or behavior—they may seem small, but they build tension and anxiety over time. If something’s wrong, be open. We’ll talk about it and try to find a solution together.

- Be mindful of personal space and differences in cultures. Always ask before physical contact, even small things like hugs or pats.

- If something bothers you, you’re encouraged to speak up. If you’re not comfortable doing that directly, I’m here to help.

- We all make mistakes—assume good intent when possible, and be open to conversations that help us grow.
