I joined ALBA because :
I see ALBA as a fantastic opportunity to join together with others who have thought deeply about equity, inclusion, and diversity, in order to make a difference in neuroscience and beyond.

I joined ALBA because :
Women's contributions to sciences have been underestimated. More than ever, equality among genders must operate in neurosciences (and every other scientific fields). I believe that it is extremely important that every human being must have the same rights, opportunities and recognition, so totally agree with Alba Network actions.
