Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
The Gebbie Lab actively promotes the diversification of the scientific community by highlighting the contributions of individuals from various backgrounds and discussing the barriers of underrepresented communities in STEM. We value and welcome the individual perspectives added to the group by persons of all identities and backgrounds. Ultimately, we aim to cultivate a group environment that celebrates diversity and inclusion, and we encourage our scientists to create a positive impact in the broader scientific community.

“Visibility is important for mental health, for standing up to injustices, and for mentoring current colleagues and future scientists.”
