We strive to ensure a welcoming environment for all our group members. It is our goal to maintain a positive lab, work, and classroom environment where everyone feels supported, listened to and able to do their personal best. While we can never truly eliminate all workplace biases, we strive for respectful communication and an open dialogue when issues arise. Discriminatory workplace harassment and bullying will not be tolerated. We are committed to learning from each other and continuing our education and growth through programs like UR\u2019s Safe Space training. More information on this certification program and additional educational resources at UR can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/diversity\/faculty-staff\/safe-space\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-heading\">The newly constructed TRACER lab incorporates universal design principles wherever possible. This includes workspaces positioned at varying heights, including an ADA-compliant fume hood and sink. The lab is outfitted with dual emergency response systems and placarding (i.e. audio and visual). Being an oceanographic and chemistry-based lab group, there are some guidelines that must be followed to ensure the safety of everyone working in the lab, in the field, and at sea. However, we are committed to searching for new solutions and adapting our procedures so that everyone who wants to conduct research and\/or collaborate with our group has the opportunity. If you\u2019re interested in our research, please stop by for a chat. Your thoughts and suggestions can help us create a more inclusive facility and research group!<\/p>","background_color":"#ffffff","width":"width-medium"},{"acf_fc_layout":"card_grid_new","anchor":"","css_class":"","title":"<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Education and Outreach<\/strong><\/h2>","description":"The TRACER Lab strives to push for positive change within our respective scientific fields, and to find creative ways to share our research with the broader community.
