As a president of the IBRO-MENA, we plan to have the neuroscience more promoted in the Middle east and the Arab countries where we plan several activities and conferences. Teaming with ALBA will offer better scientific connection in the area of neuroscience which is an area that is undeserved in our region.
This kind of collaboration among neuroscientists will promote expertise exchange and will help students achieve better training in the area of neuro-related projects.

I grew up in a cosmopolitan environment. I have been in three different cities for my education in India. After completing my PhD in India, I moved to Dallas for postdoctoral research. I always believed that inclusion and diversity is essential; it helps us gather diverse idea, gives varied point of view and makes us more accommodative to others. I support the mission of ALBA in creating equality and diversity and would be happy to support and network with the fellow members.

As a member of Alba Steering Committee, it is an honor to be part of the Alba's mission of incorporating diversity and ensuring equality in the brain sciences.

to represent diversity and highlight the importance of diversity for research.

I support the cause of Alba network and strongly advocate its policies in my life.

I would like to support diversity and equality in neuroscience.

I am very passionate about EDI and would love to volunteer and help with some of the projects but would also love some support with advancing my career as a woman scientist.

I think that every person deserves to be treated with respect and deserves good mentorship. A nework like this is important to organize a voice and to be heard and to make a change.

I believe in increasing visibility and representation of marginalized groups in the neuroscience field

To give better visibility to women working in brain research

As scientists who believe in the powers of interdisciplinary research and the diversity of ideas, I am convinced that promoting equity, diversity, and inclusion is essential for our ability to advance neuroscience and our quests to understand the complexity of the brain and tackle brain disorders.

To achieve this goal, we need to do more to create the space, forums, and platforms for all members of our global neuroscience community to share their work and ideas, to challenge conventional wisdom, to connect with other neuroscientists, and to contribute to shaping the field.
We also must work together to ensure that the leadership of neuroscience organizations, lists of speakers in future conferences, and memberships in influential committees and boards reflect the true diversity of our global neuroscience community.

This is precisely what ALBA network is trying to accomplish, and I am happy to be able to contribute to advancing its mission and strategic objectives.
