I joined ALBA because :
Equity, inclusion and diversity are the pillars for progress and advancement. On the other hand, science and especially brain sciences dealing with the most complicated, elegant, demanding and intriguing organ of our body has only to gain through the involvement of diverse groups. It is only then, that science can be fruitful and effective. ALBA supports this idea, and this is the reason that I support ALBA. The commencement of this initiative gave wealth to the neuroscience community and thus personal experiences have their own space and way to be channeled in a common path.
