Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

I acknowledge that I live and work on the ancestral land and water of the Coast Salish people.
The Bundy lab acknowledges that the racial diversity of oceanography, and academia as a whole, does not reflect the demographics of the state of Washington or the U.S. As such, we must actively work to change this.
​
In the Bundy lab we believe that scientists should work as a team. We value individuals, no matter their race, ethnicity, gender or sexual identity, or socioeconomic background. We think science works best when we have a diversity of opinions, insights, and methods for solving a problem. We also believe that we must actively work everyday to acknowledge our own biases, to combat them, and to stand up to racial injustices when we see or hear them.
