I join Alba as it wonderfully aligns with my personal and academic trajectory. My ethos pivots on proactive dialogue and community building. For instance, as a postdoc, I was active at the Yale Postdoc Association, building a community across campus. In my laboratory, we have embraced an ethos of research-led education, hosting a diverse cohort spanning undergraduates, post-baccalaureates, graduate students, and postdocs from an array of nations and backgrounds. Recognising that teamwork evolves through mutual adaptation, I'm committed to adjusting my strategies to meet the evolving needs of collaborators and trainees.

As a neuroscientist, I will benefit from the meetings and events of the ALBA network. I am excited to be part of this wonderful network of neuroscientists. I believe I can contribute to the ALBA network by participating and organizing events in India, which is not very well represented in the world when it comes to neuroscience research. I have recently started my independent career, building my lab, so I believe the mentoring programs will be useful for me. And the interactions with the members of ALBA will open up the possibilities for collaboration on projects and grants.

I joined ALBA because :
As part of an underrepresented community, I encounter challenges as a first-generation university student. Pioneering higher education in my family, coupled with belonging to historically marginalized racial, ethnic, or caste groups, and facing language barriers, shapes my unique academic journey. These factors underscore my commitment to addressing systemic disparities and dismantling barriers for future generations. Hope Alba also supports my favorite quote: "The color of your soul is more important than the color of your skin." — Matshona Dhliwayo
