PSC Structure

The PSC is divided into teams, each of which are responsible for 1-2 initiatives. This allows for members to focus on initiatives that interest them while also ensuring every initiative has someone working on it.

Safety begins with those who are in the lab everyday. As graduate students, we can have one of the biggest impacts on the safety culture here at WashU.
