The Malnoë Lab is committed to ensuring that our lab environment is welcoming and nurturing to individuals of all colors, ethnicities, abilities, genders, and sexual orientations.
Values we strive for in our daily-work:
- Trust, support, understanding
- Encouragement & recognition
- Clear directions and expectations
- Consistency in direction and feedback
- Healthy and frequent communication
- Flexibility
- Constructive and timely feedback
- Respect for unique personal circumstances
We want to create a honest, respectful, safe space and recognize that each one of us are colleagues in training who continuously learn and grow with each other and within the broader community.
