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 want to help give better visibility to underrepresented groups in neuroscience, and I’m extremely interested in getting involved in activities that promote these populations. I have been working with the World Association for Cultural Psychiatry (WACP) for over 10 years to promote the inclusion of academics, scientists, and clinicians from underrepresented countries. Specifically, I have worked with the WACP journal, the WCPRR, which publishes quality research papers from these countries. I’m now the incoming editor-in-chief of the WCPRR. I want to work with the ALBA Network to help underrepresented neuroscientists. I’m hoping to learn from ALBA how to better facilitate underrepresented communities and to contribute the approaches that I’ve learned from working with the WACP.

I joined ALBA because :
1) I am a woman in Science and would like to make a strong impact on women in Science who are underrepresented not only in India but all over the world by showing if I can do it so you can too...
2) To guide and motivate women in Science I need a good mentorship and I believe this platform could help me.
3) Also I would like to network with others who are working on this agenda.

I joined ALBA because :
As a young scientist I was incredibly naive about the gender gap in science and issues such as unconscious bias. As I got older, however, I increasingly found myself sitting in meetings, one of the few female faculty in the room and I started to ask myself where all the women had gone?
I currently live and work in Denmark: a country that can be proud of the fantastic strides it has made with respect to gender equality in society. I am part of a new organisation working to now ensure that this equality will reach into the science realm where, unfortunately, we still lag behind many countries.
