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 :
I am involved in DEI efforts at my school and university and have been working with a number of my societies to incorporate inclusive practices around sexual orientation and gender identity/expression. As such, I am always interested in learning new "best practices" for supporting trainees and junior faculty who are from marginalized groups and networking with other neuroscientists interested in the same.
