Our mission is to foster scientific innovation and excellence, which relies on contributions and diverse perspectives from our global community. We are therefore committed to cultivating an inclusive and equitable environment that welcomes and supports members from diverse backgrounds and perspectives. Our community welcomes and encourages participation by all individuals regardless of race, religion, gender, gender identity, gender expression, age, culture, subculture, ethnicity, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, or socio-economic status. We aim to provide an organization that is welcoming to all, built upon mutual respect, encouragement and mentorship. We are committed to continuously learn from our members and the most up to date recommendations for providing a safe and welcoming scientific space, both virtually and in person. We welcome feedback and ideas for actions to ensure our community’s growth.
