The bloom is the quintessential sign of spring, of early life, and innovation; each petal representing a step in development; together, their round form alluding to our lifecycle.
The overlapping semi-transparent petals are an allegory to the team’s core principles of collaboration across specialties, the mosaic of expertise required to understand how each part contributes to the whole, and the need to be inclusive of all identities as part of our research.
The bloom also speaks to the notion of flora, the gut microbiota that so greatly influences our health, which is ever so important in the early years of life.
The rounded shape encircling the ‘lab’ represents the coming together of our expertise, the safe space where students can grow and share their ideas in preperation of their own careers blossoming and branching out.
Negative space between the petals and the round lab creates the silhouette of a breast and nipple. While not the sole focus of our work, we are learning how influential breastmilk can be to early development and the gut flora. It forms part of a much larger whole, and also acknowledges part of the lab’s origin story.
