FAQs

I’m concerned about the behavior of others in my lab or in the building, who do I contact?

The best way is to talk to them directly if you feel comfortable. Personal appeals have a much greater effect than hearing a complaint after the fact or in a general sense. If you don’t feel comfortable saying something, use this anonymous Google form to let the building committee know your concerns.

I'm worried that my own PI is not understanding my concerns about safety at work, or is pressuring me to do more work then I consider safe. What should I do?

The most effective way is to talk to others in your lab and meet with your PI directly. If you don’t feel comfortable, or already have and your concerns weren’t appropriately addressed, please use this anonymous Google form. You will need to identify what lab you are in, and we understand that in small labs or specific situations it may be hard to remain anonymous. We will try our best to handle situations delicately.

Who do I talk to if I have concerns about safety in IGIB?

John Dueber and Brad Ringeisen are all available to hear your concerns, as well as our peer ombudsmen Connor Tsuchida, Noam Prywes, Julia Borden and Nicholas Karavolias. Please contact whichever one of us you feel most comfortable with. You can also contact the Vice Chancellor of Research via email: vcr@berkeley.edu, report a problem anonymously via the EH&S website, or use the campus Improper Governmental Activity (“Whistleblower”) Report.
