Membership

I am here to express my interest in joining Alba Network community as a young women neuroscientist (junior PI and group leader in Sevilla, Spain). As someone who is passionate about advancing our understanding of the brain, I believe that Alba Network offers a unique opportunity to learn and grow as a scientist.

I am excited to contribute to the community and collaborate with other members on cutting-edge research in the field. Thank you for considering my application, and I look forward to the opportunity to be a part of this great network.

Joining a society committed to promoting equality and inclusivity for neuroscientists presents numerous advantages. Firstly, it directly aligns with the objective of creating an egalitarian environment within this field, where all individuals can thrive irrespective of their background. By becoming a member, I can actively participate in creating positive, evidence-based strategies that increase diversity and foster inclusivity at all levels. This will not only augment my understanding of best practices in diversity and inclusion but also empower me to make meaningful contributions to the field. Furthermore, your society can provide me with abundant resources and learning materials, aiding you in bolstering your professional development. Lastly, through active involvement, I position myself as a promoter of change, serving as an ally to underrepresented groups – a step forward in personal growth and societal betterment.

In order to achieve equality among all researchers (and in society, in general), it is necessary to create structures and networks that serve as support, to identify problems and, above all, to seek solutions. Collective actions such as those that Alba intends to carry out are the best strategy.

I believe that the mission of the Alba network is of extreme importance to allow us to make more inclusive and collaborative neuroscience. I am starting my own research group and I would like to implement such vision in my lab as well.

Because I would like to apply for the Travel Awards for Neuroscience Meetings.

Joining the Alba Network opens the door to a world where neuroscience meets different fields of knowledge. The diversity of perspectives and approaches will provide me with a unique opportunity. Give me the chance to immerse myself in an environment where experts from different disciplines come together to collaborate, share ideas and discoveries.

I think this is a neccesary as well as inspiring network

to increase knowledge of gender biases and promote best practices to counteract it

I join ALBA Network because I believe their is a unbalanced gender representation in higher level positions in general.
I hope that these type of networks can help override this bias

I consider equal opportunities should be a priority in brain sciences, in science in general, and global society.
I sincerely appreciate this initiative and would like to give a contribution.

By joining the ALBA Network, you demonstrate your commitment to promoting change in neuroscience, specifically in terms of equal opportunities. It provides you with tools to network and collaborate with other experts in the field. Through mentoring programs, I can contribute to fostering a positive change in the field, promoting a more inclusive and equitable future for all of us. I have a keen interest in this topic due to my personal experience as a female neuroscientist and mother of three, two of whom are also girls. I actively participated in creating a local support network for female researchers during my postdoctoral stage, called 'STEM Circuits.' I am delighted to be a part of a larger network that focuses on my research field.

I want to be part of ALBA Network to stay informed about the latest publications from this global and diverse community of neuroscientists. ALBA offers a platform for research, education, communication, and advocacy, emphasizing diversity, equity, and inclusion. Joining this network aligns with my commitment to staying updated and connected in the field.

To help giving visibility to underrepresented groups in Neuroscience.

I'm interested in learning of our biases and tools to overcome them.
