The CATS Lab is committed to inclusive science
All individuals deserve the opportunity to engage in science and scholarship and be treated with respect and fairness. The CATS Lab is strongly committed to fostering an inclusive academic and scientific community that encourages diverse perspectives and experiences, embracing differences across all aspects of identity including race, ethnicity, gender, age, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, religion, veteran status, national origin, and disability. We aim to create a safe environment that actively listens to, respects, and supports the rights and dignities of all individuals. The CATS Lab continually strives to combat inequality and injustice, and we take responsibility for acting in line with these values in our research, teaching, service, and personal lives.
