YDC lab is a collaborative community that affirms and celebrates diverse identities and ideas. All members of the lab are forthcoming with opportunities and maintain a mission of social justice, and Amy leads by example in all of these domains. I have whole heartedly adored my time in the lab thus far.

I love the collaborative spirit in the lab; the support I get from the others is important

for me to keep going. I also love that we

can work on projects that can hopefully

impact not just specific communities,

but also important policies.
