Everyone is welcome, whatever their background, identity, or path into science. Diverse perspectives make our work better and fairer.

We answer questions that excite us, and projects develop from each individual's interests. We all make mistakes, and we are all learning and growing.

We take ownership of our work and treat hard problems as puzzles worth solving. We are proactive and we ask for help when needed.

Our work is careful, transparent, reproducible, and honest. The ends do not justify the means, because the methods matter.

We help each other,  value others, and treat everyone with kindness. Our own mental and physical health and happiness are important.
