We assert that the diversity of our community, inclusive of various ethnicity, genders, sexual orientations, and social backgrounds, is key the impact of our research. We recognize that diverse perspectives lead to novel solutions and that inclusion cultivates an environment where members are valued, supported, and encouraged to succeed.
Specifically we strive to\
- Recognize our differences as strengths\
- Promote continuing education in diversity, equity, and inclusion.\
- Provide educational and emotional support for each other\
- Provide resources for personal and professional growth
### Actionable Steps
In our effort to continue growing and learning we
- Have regular [lab discussions](https://robertslab.github.io/resources/DEI-Resources/#bimonthly-diversity-equity-and-inclusion-meetings). Focuses [have been reading articles, watching videos](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LCIiAqWMaJ0tPZIevUXqWyZR2SN4p9qGLgQIvWBaWgo/edit#gid=0), and continue to reflect on ways our lab and department can welcome diverse voices.
- Incorporate our values into projects. Examples include projects aimed at [bringing marine sciences to a local high school](https://faculty.washington.edu/sr320/research/wsg-clam.html) and another one we [partner with Sea Potential and Black in Marine Science](https://faculty.washington.edu/sr320/research/art.html) to engage underrepresented students through an Art + Science collaborative education practice.
Several current and former students are integrating these values in their core activities. For instance [Chris Mantegna](https://faculty.washington.edu/sr320/people.html#chris-mantegna) mentors students in pursuit of [enhancing diversity within the marine sciences.](https://fish.uw.edu/2023/09/marine-science-mentoring-over-the-summer-at-fhl/) and [Ariana Huffmyer](https://faculty.washington.edu/sr320/people.html#ariana-s.-huffmyer-phd) is partnering with [Reva Atea, a local organization in Mo'orea, French Polynesia to develop education programs and showcase local research](https://www.reva-atea.com/).
### Invitation to Partnership
We invite those including current and prospective collaborators, and the wider scientific community, to join us in actively cultivating an environment where every individual is provided the opportunity to be successful.
