The mission of ALBA is what I believe should be promoted. And this is true not only in the neuroscience field but society in general.

Unfortunately -subtle- sexism, racism, classim, homophobia, transphobia, handiphobia etc. are present in academia. I try to be an inter-sectional feminist and I would like to fight for a better inclusion of people from under represented groups in academia.

Fixing the leaky pipeline in STEM will be one of the main challenges of my generation of researchers. To contribute to this effort, I'm trying to make a difference in my own lab, and also as a member of the gender equality committee of the Zurich Neuroscience Center. I hope that joining Alba will help to flag and counteract bias in all its forms in the wider neuroscience community.

To support this initiative and be part of this community. I trust that a future of self- and mutual- respect is achievable. Together.

I am a member of the Hotchkiss Brain Institute and the Canadian Association of Neuroscience EDI committees. I try to work towards equity and inclusivity in neuroscience at my local institutes and am always on the look out for strategies and new ideas in this arena.

As a member of the Alba network steering committee, I am honored to be part of a like-minded community that seeks to strengthen and develop effective transformation and diversity initiatives.

To be proactive in helping to foster a fair and diverse scientific community.

I want to support diversity, inclusion and sustainability in my career path. I think it is extremely important.

I am especially keen to champion the standards & best practices of management in Science, an area of knowledge and repertoire of skills that are often significantly lacking amongst neuroscience researchers, across the career spectrum.
