Membership

I have always been interested in promoting science to under represented groups & minorities. I feel incredibly lucky for the opportunities I had during my studies, and I want to help every single woman/girl to have the same chance.

Joining the ALBA Network offers a unique opportunity to contribute to a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive neuroscience community while enhancing my own career. Through ALBA, I can connect with a global network of like-minded professionals, collaborate on groundbreaking research, and access resources designed to promote diversity in science. The mentorship programs are particularly valuable, providing guidance and support from experienced neuroscientists, which can help me navigate the challenges in my field. Additionally, being part of ALBA allows me to advocate for positive change and engage in initiatives that address crucial issues such as gender and ethnic representation in neuroscience. By joining, I not only advance my professional growth but also contribute to the ongoing efforts to make neuroscience more accessible and inclusive for everyone.

I am already have an account and realized it was incomplete. I think visibility of underrepresented groups in science is necessary.
I am Women, first generation in university in my family, LatinoAmerican, and want to contribute as much as I can to promote diversity in Science.

Joining ALBA network offers a unique opportunity for me to meet, learn and collaborate with experts, this involvement will foster my personal and intellectual growth.

I just learned about Alba network initiative and would like to learn and contribute to global efforts in increasing representation of scientists.

Because I agree with the ALBA NETWORK mission, about diversity is a fundamental component of excellence in brain sciences

To be part of an inclusive network of academics.

To promote the participation and success of women and underrepresented members of the scientific community

I would like to join the ALBA Network to contribute to and benefit from its mission of promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in neuroscience. As a postdoctoral researcher investigating the neurobiological mechanisms underlying alcohol use disorder and its comorbid conditions, I am deeply committed to fostering collaborations that support underrepresented groups in the field. ALBA’s initiatives align with my goals of advancing neuroscience through diverse perspectives, mentoring early-career scientists, and engaging in global discussions that drive scientific innovation. Being part of this network would provide me with valuable opportunities for networking, knowledge exchange, and advocating for inclusivity in neuroscience research.

To help giving visibility to underrepresented groups in Neuroscience.

As a woman I have encountered numerous challenges that have significantly impacted my research and professional development. These challenges include limited access to resources, financial constraints, and the absence of a supportive environment for female researchers in the field of neuroscience.

Being a female researcher from a developing third-world country brings up new opportunities and challenges every day. ALBA would give me a platform to connect with more such people from different parts of the world where we could share our love and passion for brain sciences.

As a gay woman in a scientific community that lacks gender equality and LGBTQ representation is challenging enough besides the competition among scientists. Thus, acknowledging and confronting the stigma and discrimination, I strongly appreciate Alba’s efforts to improve the everyday experience of myself and colleagues in science.

Because, I can find a way to communicate science and insecure diversity in each and every working environment.
