Code of Conduct 

The Montrose Lab is built on a foundation of respect, safety, and unyielding curiosity. 

 

Our Values 

Our team shares responsibility for maintaining a supportive, safe, and professional environment, where no idea is too small. We value inclusion and diversity and support all paths to success. We encourage a healthy work-life balance and support our team both inside and outside of the workplace. 

Our Expectations 

  • Be a good human. 

  • Act professionally and treat others with respect. 

  • Prioritize safety, including proper PPE use and maintaining proper training. 

  • Foster an inclusive space free from discrimination or harassment. 

  • Be teachable, and mentor others with kindness. 

  • Work collaboratively and share credit fairly and honestly. 

  • Conduct meticulous and ethical research. 

  • Avoid plagiarism, bias, data falsification, and conflicts of interest. 

  • Report unsafe conditions, accidents, or misconduct immediately. 

If you see something, say something. Report misconduct, harassment, and unsafe behavior to the lab's PI or other trusted faculty/staff immediately; reports may remain anonymous. All reports will be promptly investigated, and consequences may apply, including removal from the lab if a resolution cannot be reached.  

This Code of Conduct ensures all members understand our expectations for safe, ethical, and collaborative research. These expectations apply to all lab and office activities, including research, meetings, training, professional travel, and fieldwork.
