Advancing Neuroscience Research

Lab Values and Culture

The Neal Lab is an environment in which we conduct rigorous and impactful scientific research by working as a team of respected companions that we uplift and trust.

• We aim to promote growth and community-mindedness with respect to our research activities and the development of our personnel.

• Our team is built on a foundation of mutual respect and general kindness, facilitating effective communication and decision making.

• We approach our science with rigor, and we provide each other with thoughtful and constructive feedback as we collectively generate new ideas and advance ongoing projects in the lab.

• We encourage trainees to attend interdisciplinary seminars and meetings and to read literature outside of our immediate field of study as a means to connect with future collaborators, colleagues, and friends, and to ensure that our scientific endeavors are in tune with the broader scientific perspective.

• We endeavor to foster trainee confidence such that intrinsic curiosity can evolve into initiative as individuals develop into independent researchers.
