What merits paper authorship?
Significant experimental and/or intellectual contributions (see CRediT)

We strongly believe that the power and privilege of institutions like UCSF should be redistributed back to the community, by sharing science with those with less lab access. We are excited to bring community college and high-school students into the lab!! 

UCSF is on Ramaytush Ohlone land. We encourage land acknowledgements at events taking place on this land, using the following statement that UCSF wrote with input from the Ramaytush.

"We would like to acknowledge the Ramaytush Ohlone people, who are the traditional custodians of this land. We pay our respects to the Ramaytush Ohlone elders, past, present, and future, who call this place, the land that UCSF sits upon, their home. We are proud to continue their tradition of coming together and growing as a community. We thank the Ramaytush Ohlone community for their stewardship and support, and we look forward to strengthening our ties as we continue our relationship of mutual respect and understanding".
