Membership

I met the organization during FENS2020 and I think that their job is essential, so I would love to be part of them.

Diversity is central for adding multiple perspectives to every field. As first generation, sometimes it was difficult to find ways to the wished aims.

I am interested in diversity and equality in neuroscience.

To support diversity and equality in neuroscience, and be a part of a worldwide network of like-minded researchers. As someone still learning to navigate a career in brain sciences with multiple disabilities, I am a member of the Increasing Accessibility working group.

I am joining ALBA to corroborate the efforts in advancing neuroscience education and research. As a scientist from an equity-deserving group, I am convinced this will give me an opportunity to increase my network and share my expertise with the global community.

Being a female advocate, I would love to collaborate with Alba in order to actualize its mission which aims at building diversity and equality in neuroscience. It is a good forum to learn and network with international neuroscientist and researchers in order to keep abreast with recent research technologies

I am joining Alba so that I can connect with the global neuroscience community and learn from experts in the field. I would like to collaborate with scientists with similar interests. I also look forward towards receiving mentorship towards career development.

The power of diversity infuses not only my personal beliefs but my scientific research program. My laboratory studies the biological bases and adaptive value of differences between individuals for coping with different environments in distinct physical and social contexts. I am fascinated by both the similarities between people across time and space, and the differences in the way they see the world and respond to it. Everything I have learned from our own work and the work of numerous colleagues has convinced me of the remarkable power of embracing and celebrating the differences as well as the similarities between us.
But of course, my belief in diversity goes far beyond the scientific realm. Being an immigrant in the US from an Arab country, having become engaged in science at a time when women were in the minority, I have experienced firsthand the impact of several types of bias. Conversely, I have done my best to become conscious of and continually revisit my own biases, be they negative or positive. Seeing the human first and foremost, celebrating differences in background, ethnicity, culture, and perspective is a lifelong quest.
I am honored to be on this journey with other neuroscientist colleagues from all over the world. I believe that together, we can do better.

Being part of Alba Network I wish to have more visibility for first world Researchers related to brain and technology

To support equality and diversity in neuroscience

I joined ALBA because their mission fully resonates with me. I believe that visibility and awareness are the first steps towards achieving the goals of a given cause, so the more members of this network, the further it will reach.

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