Membership

I am eager to join the ALBA Network due to its commitment to promoting equity and diversity in brain sciences. The network's goals, including countering bias, recognizing contributions to science and diversity, and providing opportunities for underrepresented groups, resonate with my values. I see the network's actions, such as establishing best practices, curating resources, hosting events, and creating awards, as crucial steps toward fostering inclusivity. The emphasis on mentoring, building a scientist database, and advocacy aligns with my belief in collaborative efforts for positive change. Joining the ALBA Network, I aim to actively contribute to its mission and leverage my skills to support its goals.

Because I am interested in advocating for equity in research community.

As a scientist, we must contribute for the diversity and equality in the society. We have to work to spread the scientific application and its utilization.

I'd like to support Alba's mission to improve diversity and equity in the brain sciences.

I discovered the ALBA network at the Society for Neuroscience Connectome and have been itching to become a member ever since. As a woman in a male-dominated field, not only am I hoping to connect with strong women mentors, but also to work in a unified group towards accomplishing ALBA Network’s goals to counteract bias and empower underrepresented groups in brain sciences.

I am seeking to build my network in Neuroscience and searching for postdoctoral positions.

help increase diversity (ethnic, gender) within the field and greater sciences

I became aware of Alba through colleagues with whom I am a member of the SIRS Diversity Task Force. I am very much interested in promoting the goals and objectives of Alba.

As a neuroscientist and clinical psychologist, I now work to promote well-being in academia. I work one-on-one with post-grads, postdocs, early career researchers and faculty to help reduce burnout, overwhelm, anxiety and fear. My goal is to foster a dialogue regarding the well-being and performance of our academic community (I have a particular fond spot for neuroscientists) and I hope to widen the scope of that discussion with ALBA.

I recently learned about Alba and I think joining the network can be a great opportunity to develop myself and network with other researchers in the field. Besides, my personal experience could be helpful to someone in a similar position.

I have dedicated much of my career working with programs to promote diversity in the biomedical workforce, especially neuroscience.

The improvement of diversity and equity in science is an important mission that I would like to support and help promoting.
