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 am honoured to be joining Alba as an Advisor. Such networks are essential if we are to remove biases and enable better visibility to under represented groups. Science should be meritocratic. It is our duty to create a culture with no barriers to those wanting to contribute to knowledge.

Species : vertebrate
I joined ALBA because :
Diversity is vital for successful and productive science. We must work towards making the scientific community at all levels is representative of our community as a whole - which currently it is not. I strongly support the aims of the Alba network to raise awareness of this issue and to think about new ways to counter the biases that currently exist.
