All members of the lab are expected to abide by the code of conduct on the UNTHSC campus, in their electronic communications, and in off campus and digital environments where conduct could affect the lab's research and educational mission.
We provide equal access to professional development and mentoring opportunities for all lab members.
We adhere to best practices of scientific ethics. We believe that failure is a learning opportunity, that respectful communication is critical for collaboration, and that all lab members have a role in research integrity and compliance. We share credit and success as a team.
We are committed to providing a learning and working environment free of harassment based on race, ethnicity, nationality, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, disability, and physical appearance. We do not tolerate bigotry, racism, bullying, or microaggressions.
We prioritize the well-being, physical health, and mental health of each lab member. We are committed to listening and learning from experiences.
We expect professional communication both in person and in writing, remembering that our audience may include people from many different backgrounds.
We promote personal development and training in self-awareness, implicit bias awareness, and cultural sensitivity.
We support institutional policies and procedures that promote inclusivity, diversity, equity, and accessibility.
Lab members should contact Dr. Menegaz with any concerns about conduct. Lab members may also contact the Director of the Center for Anatomical Sciences or the Chair of the Department of Physiology and Anatomy with any concerns.
