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 :
For me diversity in general and especially for our favorite science (neuroscience) is what can actually drive breakthroughs. This is because, we humans, are diverse from our nature and as a result each individual is characterized by different backgrounds, experiences and beliefs, which in combination constitute creativity.

I joined ALBA because :
Scientific progress relies on Human intellect and ingenuity, characteristics on which nationality, race or creed have no impact. However, biases do exist and have persisted for many years. We need to tackle these biases and ensure the scientific enterprise is pure and inclusive, providing equal opportunities to everyone, regardless of any factors other than intellect, interest and motivation.

I joined ALBA because :
I am interested in joining a network where diversity and inclusion are central pillars. My work in both Neuroscience and Machine learning make a strong emphasis on diversity and equity: studying perception and neural dynamics beyond that of neurotypical subjects, and addressing and mitigating biases in terms of sensitive attributes in ML systems in the medical imaging and biomedical domain (algorithmic fairness).
