Handbook

Group Logistics

Logistics for how the Rosen Group is run, together with practical how-to guides, live in our public group handbook.

Shared Values

Kindness

Our group is grounded in kindness. We emphasize kindness towards ourselves, towards one another, and towards our community in all that we do.

Belonging

We strive to create a welcoming environment. We work together to create an environment in which every group member feels like they belong in the group, at the university, and in academia in general.

Respect

Every member of our research community deserves respect, regardless of their formal lab position. Antagonistic behavior of any kind is not tolerated. We are also respectful of each other's time, which we are mindful of in our day-to-day interactions.

Honest communication

We value honesty and direct communication. It’s okay to be wrong and make mistakes! Being open to feedback, acknowledging errors, and growing from them is important to the practice of science and being human.

Asking for help

We ask for help. We consider asking for help an integral part of our communication and culture as a scientific group. Every group member is encouraged to proactively ask for help and offer help to others. Everyone needs help, and help can come from anyone.

Scientific integrity

We commit to acting with scientific integrity. We perform research that is rigorous, reproducible, and transparent. We commit to honestly communicating our results and conclusions even when they are inconvenient. We value transparency and provide open access to our code and research data whenever possible in a way that is easily accessible for those outside of our research group.
