Membership

This organization was brought to my attention and has overlapping goals with others that I have been engaged with for some time.

I am already a member of the GSD working group, and am passionate about inclusion of minorities, especially LGBTQIA+ people, in neuroscience.

I am a neuroscientist by training who has dedicated her career to promoting diversity, equity and inclusion in the sciences. I am the Executive Director of Ciencia Puerto Rico, a nonprofit that seeks to celebrate, give visibility to, and empower the Puerto Rican scientific community and allies. I also hold a position as Director of the Yale Ciencia Initiative in the Office of Diversity Equity and Inclusion of the Yale School of Medicine, where I lead national programs to promote the career success of scientists from historically-excluded or marginalized backgrounds. Finally, I am the Director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion of the Wu Tsai Institute, which is establishing an inclusive community at Yale for all who are interested in advancing understanding of the mind and cognition.

The time for change is now.

I am joining the ALBA Network to advocate for diversity, equity, and inclusion in neuroscience, counter bias and discrimination, recognize underrepresented scientists' contributions, and access professional development opportunities tailored to empower neuroscientists from diverse backgrounds. I am a member of the DEI committee for the European Behavioural Pharmacology Society and want to enhance the engagement we have with this committee and in the society.

I’m joining ALBA to contribute to a more inclusive scientific community in neuroscience. Diversity enhances creativity, fosters innovation, and leads to more comprehensive research outcomes. Contribute to research that advances our understanding of neural processes and brain function.

I have always been committed to advancing empathy, equity, and inclusion across all aspects of identities. As a first-generation college student and a recently naturalized immigrant, I am acutely aware of the uneven playing field many students, faculty, and staff face. I have also significantly benefited from collaborations with students, peers, and mentors of diverse backgrounds and identities.

I am joining Alba because it offers the opportunity to collaborate and connect with a diverse, global network of researchers. Being part of this community will allow me to share my own insights and learn from the wide-ranging expertise of others in my field.

I am a long time supporter of diversity in science.

I'm interested in helping to make the field of neuroscience more inclusive and accessible.

As a woman neurologist/researcher in a leadership role I would like to promote advancement of those underrepresented in clinical neuroscience.

Excited to be part of the community and contribute new research perspectives.

I am interested in contributing in the inclusion and tolerance in our scientific community.
