Lab Values Statement

Members of the Engelward laboratory are committed excellence in research, made possible by the pursuit of truth through objective experimental design and critical evaluation of approaches and results. Out of respect for those who came before us, we incorporate their ideas and accomplishments while assuring attribution. We believe that the best science comes from teamwork, where each individual contributes a unique perspective. Success in teamwork comes from having a team that includes diverse perspectives. As such, we embrace team members who have different backgrounds, abilities, and orientation, and we do not tolerate discriminatory behavior of any kind. Finally, we appreciate that we are extremely fortunate to have the opportunity to pursue research, and we embrace opportunities to give back to society.

It is of utmost importance that all team members show respect for one another, treat each other cordially, and behave in a professional way that is best for cohesiveness of the team. Bullying, threatening, insulting, undermining, and excluding lab members will not be tolerated.
