To extend my network in neuroscience and bring my contribution to this vaste domain.

It's a great opportunity to learn new things

I would like to take part in the defense of diversity in science, particularly on my field

I hope I can enhance my nerworking and help my students. Also, I wish to disseminate data by hosting some events.

Because I am a first generation status, gay man in science and each component thrives on the other two.
I see Alba's network as a chance to develop my career, network, and get to know interesting people.

I want to contribute to creating a research community where LGBTQ+ scientists can thrive.

It's an umbrella association for neuroscience and other researchers inclined toward neuroscience research. It will be a privilege to be part of such a giant organization dedicated to solving real-life problems.

Help increase diversity in sciences

I think is a nice strategy, very important in the today's society. We need to push towards equality in all the fields and in particular in science.

Our research institution is committed with the principles of equality and the objectives of the ALBA network

Recognizing the invaluable benefits that diverse perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences bring to any environment, I strive to play a proactive role in creating and sustaining an inclusive atmosphere. This commitment involves embracing diversity by actively participating in initiatives, conversations, and actions that celebrate differences and promote equitable opportunities for everyone.

My name is Nguyen Tran Minh Duc. I am a medical doctor and ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) advocate. My journey began when I cared for my uncle with ALS, which led me to establish ALS Vietnam. This foundation supports Vietnamese individuals and families affected by ALS. https://benhals.com/

Currently, I am pursuing a PhD in ALS drug discovery and serve on the Advocacy and Public Policy Advisory Council (APPAC). The APPAC advises on global advocacy and public policy, aiming to advance impactful legislation and policies. https://www.als-mnd.org/about-us/committees-advisory-councils/scientific-advisory-council-copy/

Joining the ALBA Network aligns with my commitment to diversity and equality in neuroscience. ALBA, meaning sunrise, symbolizes the dawn of a new era. Neuroscience has traditionally lagged in these areas, but we are now experiencing significant progress. ALBA aims to catalyze this momentum, ensuring equal opportunities for all brain scientists.

I am excited to contribute to ALBA's mission and help illuminate a brighter, more inclusive future for our scientific community.

I want to join the conversation and engage with your efforts based on shared values. I believe that awareness and courage about our society's aims to flourish should be supported and need broad active participation.

Bacause I support the role and leadershipt that they take to make all different under represented groups visible in the scientific field.
