Dr. Briand and the entire Behavioral Neurophysiology lab is committed to fighting systemic racism and discrimination. We pledge to create a work environment that is inclusive of all lab members regardless of their race, ethnicity, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, able-bodiedness, age, socioeconomic status, national origin, citizenship status, or mental health status. We believe that creating a group of individuals from a diverse set of backgrounds facilitates better science. We pledge to participate in continued education to increase our awareness and engage in strategies to combat inequity.
Dr. Briand is also the Recruitment and Retention Coordinator for the Mid-Atlantic Neuroscience Diversity Scholars program. Check out the link below to learn more about this exciting collaboration between Temple University, Lincoln University, Howard University, and University of Maryland.
