Membership

I want to help give better visibility to underrepresented groups in neuroscience, and I’m extremely interested in getting involved in activities that promote these populations. I have been working with the World Association for Cultural Psychiatry (WACP) for over 10 years to promote the inclusion of academics, scientists, and clinicians from underrepresented countries. Specifically, I have worked with the WACP journal, the WCPRR, which publishes quality research papers from these countries. I’m now the incoming editor-in-chief of the WCPRR. I want to work with the ALBA Network to help underrepresented neuroscientists. I’m hoping to learn from ALBA how to better facilitate underrepresented communities and to contribute the approaches that I’ve learned from working with the WACP.

I am committed to promoting a diverse, equitable, and inclusive laboratory environment. Joining Alba can help me to learn how to accomplish this goal.

I am the gender equality correspondent in my laboratory.

I believe that multidisciplinary networking is the way to find solid solutions to brain-related problems. ALBA seems like an opportunity to work in this setting with prestigious groups interested in walking together on this path of thinking from different angles to find solutions to mental health problems.

To be able to connect with neuroscientists around the world who advocate and step up for under-represented groups in science.

I became aware of Alba through colleagues with whom I am a member of the SIRS Diversity Task Force. I am very much interested in promoting the goals and objectives of Alba.

Nearly all the biggest research problems our world faces affect people of all different backgrounds, and all those people should have a place in science. I am proud to promote diversity and inclusion within neuroscience research and interested in how ALBA aims to achieve this.

I am interested in the networking, career development and community building activities of the ALBA Network. I admire the ALBA mission and want to be a part of it through membership and subsequent contributions.

To help increase diversity in the field of neuroscience.

To advocate for inclusion and diversity in neuroscience

Being a Filipino scientist living in Austria, I strongly support ALBA's mission of promoting equity, diversity and inclusion in neuroscience.

It is crucial to improve the visibility and inclusion of female scientists in brain imaging (and STEM, in general). No change will happen unless we all contribute to achieve this goal.

Generar nuevo conocimiento que permita conocer, comprender y promover la equidad y la diversidad en las ciencias del cerebro.

I am joining ALBA because I wholeheartedly believe in the importance of promoting equity and diversity in the field of brain sciences. ALBA's mission aligns with my values, and I am committed to contributing to this essential effort. I am particularly motivated to support underrepresented individuals in the scientific community, and I believe that ALBA's initiatives will help create a more inclusive and equitable environment for all brain scientists. By joining ALBA, I aim to actively participate in its activities, advocate for change, and work towards a future where everyone, regardless of their background, has equal opportunities to excel in the field of neuroscience.
