I joined ALBA because :
Recently I was invited for a talk organised by BiasWatch India. This is when I was introduced to ALBA network. Gender disparity is a burning issue in STEM fields. Women are under-represented. To cite this, recently when I submitted a recommendation letter for my postdoc, I received an auto reply which said "Dear Sir", Thank you for submitting the letter. I was quite shocked ! This is real under representation. I have also had break in career due to maternity and subsequently tried hard to enter mainstream and have succeeded. Would like to share my experience with upcoming scientists which may motivate them.
