I joined ALBA because :
I am eager to join the ALBA Network to actively contribute to its mission of promoting equity and diversity in the brain sciences. My background in clinical medicine and biomedical informatics has highlighted the critical need for inclusive practices and diverse perspectives in neuroscience research and application. I am particularly drawn to ALBA's commitment to empowering scientists as advocates for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), promoting best practices to counteract bias, and providing professional development opportunities for underrepresented groups. By becoming a member, I aim to collaborate with like-minded professionals to develop and implement strategies that foster inclusivity within the neuroscience community. I am also interested in participating in ALBA's initiatives, such as networking events and mentoring programs, to support the career development of underrepresented neuroscientists.
Joining ALBA aligns with my personal and professional goals of advocating for equitable opportunities and creating a more inclusive environment in the field of brain sciences.

I joined ALBA because :
I want to join ALBA because I believe its mission is crucial for the advancement of science and society. I'm from Argentina and completed my bachelor's, Master's, and PhD in Europe. I'm concerned about the disparities in scientific opportunities that people encounter based solely on where they're born. I genuinely think that both the scientific community and society stand to gain from promoting greater visibility and providing equal opportunities for researchers from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

I joined ALBA because :
I am interested in belonging to the Alba family because I think it is an opportunity to do research and science in a divergent way, breaking traditional schemes and managing changes as happens with generations. I really like the research topics and processes that they develop and, above all, I like to stay up to date with new trends in neuroscience and related processes.
