Team
We are focused on having a diverse, fair, and inclusive team and work environment. Team members support each other and help out when we see someone physically or mentally struggling. We work respectfully with people from different backgrounds, experiences, and nationalities. To collaborate more efficiently and ensure reproducibility, we implement the principles of open data and open science.
