Gender: Female
Fields of research : Cellular and molecular neuroscience Circuit neuroscience , Analysis of behavior and cognition in non-human animal Data analysis and statistics Electrophysiology (channels) Electrophysiology (slow waves) Electrophysiology (unit activity) In vivo monitoring Species : vertebrate
Reason of joining Alba Network :
I want to join Alba because the gender inequalities in academia are too large for the "modern" society we live in. I hope that by joining this network I can contribute in any way possible to close the gender gap.
