Lab culture

The Stracy lab is committed to building a safe and supportive environment where all all team members feel welcome, respected and heard. We welcome everyone regardless of gender, age, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, nationality, or culture. We believe that our individual differences make us stronger as a team and enable us to perform creative and exciting science. Our lab culture is defined communally as a team and includes our lab values and our lab expectation.

Integrity: We will do everything possible to remove doubt about the validity of our findings.

Collaboration: Science is both more fun and more productive when we work together as a team

Respect: We believe that science happens best when everyone feels respected and supported. We value each other’s opinions, time and effort.

Growth: We aim for our lab environment to learn and grow, where members are encouraged to share their ideas and provide constructive feedback.

Perseverance: Science can be challenging, so we will help each overcome hurdles and celebrate successes together.
