Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion Statement

Our lab is committed to creating an inclusive, equitable and supportive environment. We believe that science thrives when diverse perspectives come together in a shared pursuit of knowledge.

Our guiding principles:

1. Diversity enhances collaboration: Progress thrives when everyone is included and valued.

2. Teamwork fuels innovation: Collaboration and respect are essential for cultivating a thriving community.

3. Acknowledging barriers: We understand that academia has long been marked by systemic exclusions based on gender, race, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, disability, and religion. These challenges are particularly pronounced in theoretical neuroscience and machine learning. We are dedicated to breaking down these barriers and ensuring fair opportunities for all.

4. Broad societal impact: Our work aims to contribute meaningfully and equitably to society.

Our commitments:

• Recruit and support individuals from diverse backgrounds through accessible opportunities and mentorship.

• Maintain an inclusive, accessible, and safe space for research and discussion.

• Regularly review and adapt our practices to ensure accountability and progress.

• Empower every member to share their ideas, perspectives, and expertise openly and respectfully.

Our lab is more than its scientific output. The long-term health of academia and society depends on these efforts.
