The Network

ALBA represents a global diverse network of individual neuroscientists who are involved in research, education, communication and advocacy, and are committed to supporting and advocating for actions and policies that foster diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in brain sciences across the globe. We currently have 1890 individual members from 91 countries.

I joined ALBA because :
If we learned anything during this pandemic, open collaboration could speed up the science dramatically. The open science approach's effectiveness convinced me to share our data using preprint servers before publication and always collaborate without reservation.

Invasive Neurophysiology
I joined ALBA because :
Because I want to engage in collective action for diversity, equity and inclusion in neuroscience. As a cis-white male with a professorship in Germany, I understand it as my duty to work twice as hard for this cause, given the undeserved privilege that I am treated with. At the same time, as a person with disability (severe hearing loss), I have experienced exclusion and can identify underlying mechanisms.
