The Iowa Neuroscience Institute is committed to including and supporting perspectives from all members of our laboratories. We believe that the most impactful science is done when everyone feels a sense of belonging in discovery.
The University of Iowa is the first public university in the U.S. to admit women and men on an equal basis and the first to admit students regardless of race. We are determined to uphold the university’s history of inclusion and belonging as we work toward achieving our full scientific potential as individuals and as a community.
