BatID 2025 is committed to providing a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, mental illness, neurotype, physical appearance, body, age, race, ethnicity, nationality, language, or religion. We do not tolerate harassment of participants in any form.
Our definition of “harassment” includes but is not limited to:
Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately.
If a participant engages in harassing behavior, BatID 2025 may take any action we deem appropriate, up to and including expulsion from all BatID 2025 spaces, and restriction from attending future meetings of the society.
If you are being harassed by a member of the BatID 2025 community, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns related to this Code of Conduct, please contact us at [email protected] (a distribution list which includes the BatID 2025 Organizing Committee: Dr. Cara Brook, Dr. Arinjay Banerjee, Dr. Daniel Becker, Dr. Hannah Frank, Dr. Stephanie Seifert) or reach out to a member of the Organizing Committee directly.
