STANFORD BIOSCIENCES AFFIRMATION** September 23, 2019 As I embark on my career as a scientist, I willingly pledge that: I will practice and support a scientific process that is based on logic, intellectual rigor, personal integrity, and an uncompromising respect for the truth; I will perform my professional activities and interactions with scientific integrity and respect for the field and my peers; I will acknowledge that science involves failures and can be frustrating, thus I will treat myself and my colleagues with kindness and compassion as we deal with temporary setbacks on the path to progress; I will acknowledge my role as an ambassador of science to the public, and will strive to be honest, respectful, and unbiased while engaging the public; I will never let the potential for personal recognition, profit or advancement cause me to act in a way that violates the public trust in science or in me as a scientist; I will foster a community that is inclusive of all and recognize that diversity cultivates innovation, creativity, and progress; I will acknowledge and honor the contributions of scientists who have preceded me and become a worthy role model deserving of respect by those who follow me; And I will always be cognizant that my work is for the advancement of knowledge and the benefit of all humanity and our world.

This is an excellent statement of scientific values that we should all strive to uphold. 🧪🧠🤖
