Membership

I am eager to join the ALBA Network due to its commitment to promoting equity and diversity in brain sciences. The network's goals, including countering bias, recognizing contributions to science and diversity, and providing opportunities for underrepresented groups, resonate with my values. I see the network's actions, such as establishing best practices, curating resources, hosting events, and creating awards, as crucial steps toward fostering inclusivity. The emphasis on mentoring, building a scientist database, and advocacy aligns with my belief in collaborative efforts for positive change. Joining the ALBA Network, I aim to actively contribute to its mission and leverage my skills to support its goals.

I am a big fan of Neuroscience. I can open new horizons for me and my passion by joining ALBA, so that I can much experience and make invaluable relationships with other researchers from the network. Joining ALBA may be the first step of my career.

I am a queer undergrad from india extremely interested in neuroscience, and wish to meet a community and try to learn about different interest areas, people and things i can do

I really resonate with the cause of advocacy, awareness and interdisciplnary approach to the brain sciences. Having faced my own challenges as a young healthcare professional, I would like to contribute to increasing outreach in the field of brain sciences.

I feel joining Alaba network would help me connect to more like-minded people in the field of Neuroscience. Moreover, it would also help asking more interesting questions in Neuroscience.

I met at FENS 2020. I saw Alba Network really doing great work. I wanted to follow many of Alba's works closely. Also thank you very much for the scholarship you gave me at FENS. this impressed me a lot. Thank you Alba-Network.

I was impressed when I read the mission statement of the ALBA network. I come from a community where research in neuroscience still hasn't reached its potential. I believe, this platform will allow me the opportunity to access the wondrous scientific community of neuroscience led by inspiring neuroscientist and world class research.

I'm a full-time professional scientific editor. In my current role, I oversee a portfolio of journals focusing on neurology, neuropsychopharmacology and translational neuroscience.

As an editor, I'd like to help reduce gender discrimination in these fields, and help women neuroscientists not only to get published but also to cut their teeth into peer review and editorial roles, either as academic editors or in publishing.

I encourage people who are keen on getting more experience in authoring and peer reviewing scientific articles, as well as those who are interested in getting in editorial board roles to get in touch with me - women are generally underrepresented as authors, peer reviewers and editors and this is something I would like to help change.

Moreover, I'm happy to answer questions and give talks about becoming a professional scientific editor - it's a little known career path, but many professional editors feels it enables them to have better work-life balance than working in the academia, while still making the most of their experience in and passion for science.

My research background is primarily in electrophysiology and behavioural neurogenetics (and yes, like so many of us, I've been assumed to be the secretary!) so the mission of ALBA is very close to my heart.

Because I want to connect with neuro-scientist around the world and help each other
