The Pluznick Lab highly values diversity, equity and inclusion.  We recognize that we do better and more creative science when we include individuals with diverse perspectives and backgrounds: diverse perspectives help to drive excellence, whereas decreased diversity represents the loss of talent. To that end, it is the responsibility of every lab member to ensure that we respect, protect, and celebrate diversity and inclusion within our lab (including diversity of race, culture, nationality, sex, gender, age, religion, disability, and sexual orientation, among others). Jen has a zero-tolerance policy for speech or behaviors which are in opposition to these values.
