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.

Undergraduate student at University of Granada
Spain Website
Gender : Woman
Fields of research :
Other
Physical exercise and neuroscience
Analysis of behavior and cognition in humans
Data analysis and statistics
Imaging (PET, fMRI, etc)
I joined ALBA because :
I really would like to be part of this network and contribute to gender equality in science. Specifically, I would like to fight for getting that women who finished their PhD and want to continue successfully their research career, would have the same possibilities than men. I see also very important to work on the data collection of gender bias to provide objective information about gender inequalities in our field. Last but not less, I would like to learn more from people in the Alba Network and share experiences.

I joined ALBA because :
I am involved in DEI efforts at my school and university and have been working with a number of my societies to incorporate inclusive practices around sexual orientation and gender identity/expression. As such, I am always interested in learning new "best practices" for supporting trainees and junior faculty who are from marginalized groups and networking with other neuroscientists interested in the same.
