Membership

I am joining Alba because as a bisexual woman I fell underrepresented and sometimes not being part of the "normal" traditional scientific community. I often face professional situations where I am the only woman since the field of research in neuroscience is sometimes all men driven. I would be part of a global community where diversity, equity, and inclusion are part of the scientific and the educational path.

To learn more about recent research

to help promote DEIA initiatives

I am joining Alba to raise awareness about the problems that underrepresented groups face in science even nowadays.

I have observed attitudes and biases (whether deliberate or not) in my field which I believe actively narrow scientific perspectives and harm the discipline. Put simply, I am looking for a network to combat this, as I feel it will serve fellow scientists and the field at large.

To connect with a diverse network of those participating in neuroscience research

I am a woman scientist from underrepresented minority. I, myself, have experienced discrimination and injustice as a result of my belonging to less-privileged populations. I take diversity and equity in academia to heart, and I am committed to do my part in promoting diversity in neuroscience and creating a safe, welcoming, and inclusive environment for everyone to feel valued and respected.

Committed to promotion of diversity and inclusion of women and underrepresented groups in science and medicine.

I would like to support and network with individuals dedicated to improving diversity at higher levels of the academic profession

To contribute to efforts aiming at giving visibility to underrepresented scientists.

I aim to contribute to and promote diversity and diverse perspectives in neurobiological research and neuroethics.

As a Latino woman, I am motivated to lead and promote neuroscience research among underrepresented minorities. An example of this commitment is highlighted in my published review summarizing and underlining the contributions of Latin America-based neuroscientists studying the interaction between stress and addiction (PMID: 30622500). Other examples are my close communication with scientists from Colombia, Argentina, Chile and Mexico and my participation in multiple events sponsored by the International Brain Research Organization, the Federation of Latin American and Caribbean Neurosciences and the Colombian College of Neuroscience. I am interested in expanding my network of researchers and collaborators, helping to guide me through the process of transitioning from postdoctoral fellow to an academic position, which would contribute greatly to my career development, and promote my own ambition of becoming an advocate for underrepresented neuroscientists.

Bacause I support the role and leadershipt that they take to make all different under represented groups visible in the scientific field.

I am joining Alba as a non-dominant identity within in STEM to promote diversity, equity and inclusion.

I am a Latinx scientist and much of my career has been focused on increasing diversity, equity and inclusion in the sciences.

I believe that increasing diversity ad gender equality in science is not only fair but will help to produce better science.
