Principles of the Streby Lab

  • Be professional, ethical, and reliable

  • Remain curious and appropriately skeptical

  • Take pride and find joy in your work

  • Seek those who share these principles and collaborate loyally

    • The inverse of this final point is equally important​

Some Thoughts

The goal of science is to seek truth, not to prove theory, despite publication bias toward the latter

Potential in scientific research knows no race, age, sex, gender, or place of origin

Anyone who forces you to choose between being liked or being respected isn't worth liking or respecting

“I don’t know” are underused words

Memorization and regurgitation of facts is no substitute for original thought

Always question anything described as a “consensus opinion”

The best response to an unprofessional communication is usually no response at all

Trying to rationalize with an irrational person is a good way to go insane

He who has an hour to discuss his busy schedule is not that busy

Your family and health will always be more important than your job
