I joined ALBA because :
As a scientist, I have an ongoing interest in getting more involved with the scientific and research community at the International level, and communicating science and education across different countries. Some of this stems from my fluency in multiple languages (English, Arabic and French), having heritage and routes not only in the USA but also in Europe and the Middle East. This allowed me to have the ability to communicate with people of all backgrounds and levels of knowledge, which is also evidenced by my outreach activities in the community and my interactions with donors, students, other scientists and the general public. My interests in joining the ALBA network are to bring science to a wider audience around the globe and to engage new research and education paradigms that cut across cultural barriers.
