I joined ALBA because :
I am excited to join the ALBA Network because promoting equity and diversity in the brain sciences is essential for advancing the field and unlocking new discoveries. I am particularly keen on working with groups to increase the inclusion of underrepresented scientists and models of African ancestry. ALBA's goals thus align with my values and my desire to make a positive impact. I am excited about the opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals and work together to create a more inclusive and equitable future for the brain sciences.
