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.
