We Value Diversity and Inclusion
The Christina Lee Brown Envirome Institute celebrates diversity in all its forms. We are proud to have some of the the best scientists from around the world helping us to explore and understand the complex relationships between human health and our external environmental conditions. We are not bound by borders or the the ways people categorize or group themselves because our environment affects us all equally as humans. The practice of science is a discussion and we value the richness multiple, varied voices can bring to our conversations.
