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 :
I join Alba as it wonderfully aligns with my personal and academic trajectory. My ethos pivots on proactive dialogue and community building. For instance, as a postdoc, I was active at the Yale Postdoc Association, building a community across campus. In my laboratory, we have embraced an ethos of research-led education, hosting a diverse cohort spanning undergraduates, post-baccalaureates, graduate students, and postdocs from an array of nations and backgrounds. Recognising that teamwork evolves through mutual adaptation, I'm committed to adjusting my strategies to meet the evolving needs of collaborators and trainees.
