With this webinar series, the ALBA Disability & Accessibility Working Group aims to bring down the ivory tower of ableism among the brain research community, one extraordinary neuroscientist at a time. These webinars give a platform to scientists with disabilities across the globe and neuroscience disciplines, while reflecting on how to promote inclusive working environments and accessibility to research.
For this 4th episode, Dr. Maria José Diógenes (iMM - ULisboa, PT) will talk about how her personal story changed her professional life: from the pharmacy to the laboratory bench and from ageing to Rett Syndrome.
