Network

I learned about this through ECNP 2019 and think its mission is terrific and I would love to be involved and help in any way that I can. It also looks that there is an underrepresentation of people from the United States, hence I hope to also contribute to this becoming a global network.

Gender inequality is everywhere in the academia, from university position as professors, editorial bord of prestigious journal, prize winner and etc. If we want to increase awarness, networks like ALBA is the first step

As a young student, I believe that the next generation of scientists should be supported and guided by mentors that equally represent both men and women.

I am working toward a more diverse and inclusive science research environment

To support women in brain research

In building my career, I have been very lucky to have been supported by great scientists and mentors. I love being in neuroscience today, and I want to help others to reach their potential and live their ambition.

I am joining Alba because I think changes in Science need to be done. Because I believe in equality and diversity and in a more ethical Neuroscience and because I would like to take part in the process while we accomplish it.

Because I want to help in promoting best practices to counteract bias, and I want to contribute for providing networking to promote careers for members of underrepresented groups.

I work as the Strategic Manager for Cambridge Neuroscience, an Interdisciplinary Research Centre within the University of Cambridge connecting >800 researchers across the University, who are involved with research into the nervous system. My role involves working with academics from across the University (including underrepresented groups) to support the interdisciplinary scientific community in neuroscience. This involves workshops, seminars, facilitating introductions and external interactions, an interactive website, communications and public engagement. I would like to bring the work of Alba to Cambridge and beyond (in my role as chair of FENS Communication committee).

I feel very much in tune with the goals ALBA intend to achieve, particularly the networking aspect that could promote collaborative science, mentoring, data access, be informed of putative collaborators who share common view of science and good practice, and how it should be conducted, to avoid or decrease the impact of powerful lobbies.
