I joined ALBA because :
I am joining ALBA because it is a group which helps uplifts under represented research communities and i applaud that. i am also joining to further my growth as a researcher, a female neuroscientist from an under represented community and because i am from a country where research benefits and funding is not as high in western countries (India). i hope i can gain something invaluable here that i can put in my research back in the community.
