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.

Data analysis and statistics
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.

Fields of research :
Cognitive neuroscience
Evolutionary and comparative neuroscience
Other
functional neuroanatomy
Histochemistry and tracing
Imaging (microscopy)
Species : vertebrate
I joined ALBA because :
Equal opportunities in science are one of the most important requirements to optimally make use of the combined human potential to contribute to our understanding of who we are. Understanding the brain is an important if not required component of this understanding and I therefore find ALBA an important initiative
