OUR VALUES

The FeMS Lab is founded on the values of humility, accountability and transparency. What do those mean in practice?

​

As a new lab, some of the everyday implementations of these values will be learned over time. As a starting point, humility includes acknowledging, recognizing and reflecting on our positionality as researchers, as well as accepting critique, feedback and mistakes with grace and openness. Accountability derives from relationships; understanding who we are accountable to and working out how to be accountable to those people (and institutions). Transparency includes sharing our processes (like how someone gets hired), and participating in open science practices.

​

These may change over time as the collective decides its value, what they mean, and how they will be implemented.
