The Richardson Lab is committed to upholding the core values of Ecoss: Collaboration, Community, Creativity, Inclusion, Innovation, and Respect. In support of cultivating a work environment and lab culture that supports these values, lab meeting on May 3 was devoted to bystander intervention training provided through Northland Family Help Center’s “Bringing in the Bystander” workshop. Thanks to Perry for organizing this!
On May 18, Darby, Natasha, Jacob and Andrew also participated in the Field Futures workshop on “Preventing Sexual Harassment and Assault in Fieldwork”, offered through the LTER (Long-Term Ecological Research) Network Network Office. The lab conducts field work at the Harvard Forest, Hubbard Brook, and Sevilleta LTER sites.
