I am joining ALBA because I think that we all should be involved in promoting diversity and equality in science. Under represented groups are very valuable in the neuroscience community.

Diversity is vital for successful and productive science. We must work towards making the scientific community at all levels is representative of our community as a whole - which currently it is not. I strongly support the aims of the Alba network to raise awareness of this issue and to think about new ways to counter the biases that currently exist.

Equal opportunities in science are one of the most important requirements to optimally make use of the combined human potential to contribute to our understanding of who we are. Understanding the brain is an important if not required component of this understanding and I therefore find ALBA an important initiative

I am excited to support ALBA's efforts in increasing diversity in neuroscience. As a citizen of Turkey living in Norway, I am happy to contribute to it in anyway I can.

I am joining ALBA to contribute in any way I can in promoting diversity (including gender equality) in science and society. I have been involved and coordinated various actions here in Cyprus to raise awareness on the challenges women scientist face and hope to leverage this cause through joining an international network like ALBA.

Because I want to increase the presence of women in science and in strategic positions i.e. decision makers. Nowadays it is very uncommon to find women at the same extend than men in events, committees, etc...

As a female graduate student from China, I would like to join ALBA to promote the ethnical diversity and gender equality in brain research community.
