I joined ALBA because :
My work in Puerto Rico for the past 20 years has been focused on training under-represented minorities in Neuroscience. Mentoring and training is a high-priority for me, especially with respect to developing countries. I believe that the true power of science comes from its diversity of ideas and approaches. ALBA is unique in its dedication to inclusion and diversity in neuroscience mentoring and research, and I am excited to be a part of it.
