We, the members of the Kucenas lab, stand in solidarity against racial injustice, police brutality, violence, and hatred. We are disgusted and ashamed by the blatant killing of black men and women, including the murders and lynchings deeply rooted in our nation’s history. We stand as allies in the fight against this systemic racism. As a group, we are completely intolerant of all forms of prejudice, discrimination, and injustice in our lab, department, university, community, and nation. We know that change comes from within our ranks, and we strive to create a more inclusive environment within our lab and department. Scientific discovery can only truly flourish when we include diverse perspectives and backgrounds that span the full range of the human experience in our communities, universities, and labs. Science as an institution is historically deeply rooted in racism, inequality, and exploitation that still persists today. Therefore, we hold ourselves and our university accountable for acknowledging and redressing these deplorable injustices in order to build a more inclusive and just institution. We encourage others to stand with us and denounce racism in all forms.

Moving forward, the Kucenas Lab pledges that alongside our mission of scientific discovery, we will consciously invest in the following activities:

• We will remain open to learning from others and owning up to our mistakes.
• 迅游网游加速器-为网络游戏加速护航【官方网站】:2021-6-15 · 绝地求生官方指定加速器，专业的网游加速器-迅游网游加速器,新用户免费试用!有效解决玩家在网络游戏中遇到的延时过高,登录困难,容易掉线等问题,迅游网游加速器为网游保驾护航!
• We will foster an environment where all individuals are championed, feel safe, and are encouraged to share their ideas and conduct science.
• We will never again be afraid to use our voice to speak out against injustice and racism in all forms.
• We will deliberately increase inclusivity in our lab and our department by recruiting scientists from all walks of life, and will explicitly advocate and recruit Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) at all ranks of our institution.
• We will encourage diversity and inclusion as both researchers and educators in every meeting, classroom, and event we attend.
• We will publicly acknowledge and demand that our lab, our department, our university, and our community, can, and must, do better.
• We will keep ourselves, our peers, our department, and our university accountable.

Together, the Kucenas Lab will promote diversity, inclusion, and equity in science, and we encourage others to stand with us in our mission.

**This is a living document. As we learn, listen, and grow, we will continually update and add to this statement with the hope that many of these goals become ingrained in our culture and institution. We will also propose specific action items related to these goals in the coming weeks and months. We encourage people to share, engage, and hold us accountable as we move forward.

The long-term goal of our research program is to elucidate the roles of peripheral and central glia and glial-glial interactions during nervous system development, maintenance and disease/injury. Using Danio rerio (zebrafish) as a model system (and to a lesser extent, mouse), we combine genetic and pharmacological perturbation, single cell manipulation, laser ablation/axotomy and in vivo, time-lapse imaging to directly and continuously observe glial cell origins, behaviors and interactions in an intact vertebrate.
