I joined ALBA because :
Scientific progress relies on Human intellect and ingenuity, characteristics on which nationality, race or creed have no impact. However, biases do exist and have persisted for many years. We need to tackle these biases and ensure the scientific enterprise is pure and inclusive, providing equal opportunities to everyone, regardless of any factors other than intellect, interest and motivation.
