I joined ALBA because :
Brain sciences have been dominated by WEIRD brains (Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich and Democratic). Most times, also male and cisgender. For me, joining a network of scientist and science communicators who actively work to reverse those biases is important both professionally and personally, because I don't tick all those boxes.
