The philosophy of this lab is rooted in a strong passion and desire to do the very best science we can, while having the most fun possible.

We accomplish this in four different ways:

"Ah, but a person's reach should exceed their grasp"

• Swing for the fences

"There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you"

• Own your s&%t

"It takes what it takes"

• Do the work

"We rise by lifting others"

• Challenge and support each other
