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 :
Being a lesbian I have experienced discrimination first-hand. However, I am very lucky to work in a place where I am valued and respected and it allows me to have a happy career in brain research which I love. But I know this isn't the case for everyone yet I believe it could be with enough education and understanding. That's why I chose to join the ALBA network because its mission is to work towards this goal , not only on the grounds of sexual orientation, but all aspects of equality.
