At Wittmann-Lab, we believe that diversity is a fundamental strength that drives innovation and excellence in scientific research. We are committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse community, including but not limited to race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability, national origin, socioeconomic status, and cultural background. We recognize that diversity encompasses a wide spectrum of perspectives and experiences, and we are dedicated to creating an environment where every individual feels valued, respected, and empowered to contribute their unique talents and insights.
Each member of our group has a responsibility in upholding diversity:
- Angela is committed to reducing bias in hiring practices and protecting the voices of each member of our group.
- Graduate students and postdoctoral scholars are expected to build a welcoming and supportive atmosphere where all members can thrive, regardless of their background or identity. We encourage collaboration among individuals with varied experiences and viewpoints both within and beyond our group. Group members are also expected to develop opportunities for the mentorship of diverse undergraduate students.
- Undergraduates are encouraged to actively contribute to the scientific and cultural diversity of our group.
