Membership

I am interested in communicating and socializing with members of ALBA community.

I want to be part of this great initiative to improve diversity in neuroscience.

I am a female PhD scholar in the field of psychology and neuroscience from a developing country, India. As an early career female researcher from India, I do not have the financial resources or the access to advanced state of the art facilities I wish to join ALBA to gain access to the various networking and mentoring opportunities to enhance my career in neuroscience.

I joined ALBA because I deeply resonate with its mission to promote equity, diversity, and inclusion in the brain sciences. As a psychologist and doctoral researcher who has personally navigated academia with a learning difference (dyslexia), I understand how vital it is to create spaces where diverse cognitive and cultural experiences are not only accepted but valued. ALBA represents a community that is actively working to change the culture of science, not just through statements, but through real, sustained action. That inspires me. I wanted to be part of a network where I could both contribute and grow: by learning from others, supporting inclusive initiatives, and helping make neuroscience more accessible, especially for those who’ve historically been marginalised or overlooked. For me, joining ALBA is not just a professional choice — it’s a personal commitment to building the kind of scientific community I want to belong to.

Heard about it from a friend, thought it is a great initiative to support minorities and give every person in neuroscience a voice!

I am eager to expand my collaborative network

I am joining Alba network because I believe equality is very important in any fields and I am happy to contribute to connect with people who share the same interest. ALBA is an excellent opportunity to promote not only equality and diversity, but also quality in science.

I would like to share my scientific experience, expand opportunities for collaboration on brain research.

I strongly believe that diversity makes us better and stronger.

I would like to have the opportunity to connect to neuroscientists from different places.

I'd like to be part of the mission to tackle discrimination and increase diversity in neuroscience community at multiple levels.

I am interested in the resources and activities that this Network has to offer. I am active in in gender and equity policies in my region and I would like to interact with like-minded people at a global level.

To support women in neuroscience.

To network with women in STEM and improve my science communication skills.
