I joined ALBA because :
As a passionate young neuroscientist, I have explored various areas of brain research in my career so far. I transitioned from neuronal cell biology in my PhD at IISER, Pune, India; to cortical developmental disorders research in my postdoc at IFM/INSERM at Paris, France.
During this journey I had several opportunities to mentor young students and it was one of the most rewarding aspect of my work. Being able to train and inspire young minds into pursuing not only basic brain research but also discussing their innovative approaches enriched me as a teacher and mentor. For me being an ALBA member would help sharpen this aspect and I would be privileged to be part of a dynamic community during my career.

I joined ALBA because :
I have been some time now wanting to start or join a project that promotes diversity, equity and inclusion, especially focusing on the language used in research. I strongly believe we need to change the way we express certain concepts, because of the sociopolitical weight they might have, for everyone to feel included in research. I am an undergrad student on BSc Biomedical Science, specializing in neuroscience and data analysis, but I also want to take part in this project as much as I can. I am also an advocate of research for everyone, in which I defend every research paper should have a summary in lay language that is understandable for the general public with little science background.
