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 am an advocate for improving diversity and addressing racial inequity, and am also passionate about raising LGBTQ+ voices both within science and within ethnic minority groups. I co-founded the Minorities in STEM network in the UK, and sit on the board of the Alliance for Visible Diversity in Science at Oregon Health & Science University. I would like to continue to expand on my advocacy work by working with ALBA.
