From October 2020 – May 2021, the lab formed a discussion group that meets regularly to talk about equity, diversity, inclusion and decolonization. Our group is committed to making the lab inclusive to diverse perspectives and experiences, to continue our learning, and to implementing EDI practices in our science. This will be an ongoing process. Below are some resources we have engaged with to guide us:
Reconciliation Resources for Natural Scientist Working in the Taiga Plains compiled by the Atmosbios lab and our collaborators
Inclusive Teaching course by the University of British Columbia
10 Simple Rules for Building an Anit-Racist Lab by Chaudhary et al
Resources for Field Work Equity
