Diversity & Inclusion
The Franklin Lab is committed to fostering an inclusive and welcoming environment. Diverse teams of individuals, both in the classroom and laboratory, make academia stronger. We celebrate all individuals and embrace each aspect that makes them unique including, but not limited to, race, ethnicity, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, and religion. We acknowledge the systemic racism present in all aspects of academia and strive to combat racial injustice in biomedical research and beyond.
As a member of Harvard Medical School, we share in the commitment to convening and nurturing a diverse community of individuals dedicated to promoting excellence and leadership in medicine and science. Please read more about Harvard’s Diversity statement here
As a lab, we are involved in a variety of outreach initiatives to increase diversity, equity, and inclusion in the sciences. Please see below for some of these efforts:
