The Network

ALBA represents a global diverse network of individual neuroscientists who are involved in research, education, communication and advocacy, and are committed to supporting and advocating for actions and policies that foster diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in brain sciences across the globe. We currently have 1890 individual members from 91 countries.

I joined ALBA because :
Because as a young female neuroscientist, I hope to be part of an inclusive and diverse research environment in my research career ahead. I believe one of the first steps in achieving this is creating awareness and role models. I joined ALBA because I hope to be inspired by female scientists and scientists from other underrepresented groups and hopefully also in turn I will be able to inspire future (and established) neuroscientists as well.

I joined ALBA because :
Diversity and equity are essential for good science in my opinion. I have seen colleagues' ideas dismissed because of their gender, where I am always taken seriously. Women, and minorities, face unwarranted additional hurdles and things need to change faster. Since I have started my lab, 3+ senior researchers advised me not to hire women because of the risk of pregnancies. This is unacceptable.
