Dr. Briand and the entire Behavioral Neurophysiology lab is committed to fighting systemic racism and discrimination. We pledge to create a work environment that is inclusive of all lab members regardless of their race, ethnicity, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, able-bodiedness, age, socioeconomic status, national origin, citizenship status, or mental health status. We believe that creating a group of individuals from a diverse set of backgrounds facilitates better science. We pledge to participate in continued education to increase our awareness and engage in strategies to combat inequity.
