I joined ALBA because :
I've discovered Alba network creating my Fens account. I think it's mission is great.
I'm a woman in sicence in Italy , and I'm from the South of Italy, from Naples : two things ( being woman and southern) that, I think, is often source of discrimination in my country . In our labs, in Italy, there are always a vast majority of women at benches, but very very few at the apical positions in the scientific istitutions! Moreover Italian culture , also in science, need to be shaken , with more attention to diversity, gender balance, gender equality and , more generally, need to have more respect for differences.
I think that pursue your mission is a good job.
