I joined ALBA because :
I have recently realized (by analysing the shocking ERC_Advanced Grants data) that my I was way off in believing that we had pretty much solved the issues of women in neuroscience. I have been naive and biased by my own good experiences in terms of both mentoring and representation. I would like to do something to help change the situation.
