Membership

I was motivated at the just concluded FENS forum to be an active part of the neuroscience community and would love to be part of a network where I can share my research, contribute to neuroscience and also learn from it. i would also love to collaborate with other networkers both within the ALBA community and outside of it.

I am joining the ALBA Network to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in neuroscience. ALBA’s mission to combat bias and recognize underrepresented scientists resonates with my values. I seek to learn, advocate for DEI, and contribute to creating a more inclusive environment for future generations of brain scientists.

I am joining ALBA to corroborate the efforts in advancing neuroscience education and research. As a scientist from an equity-deserving group, I am convinced this will give me an opportunity to increase my network and share my expertise with the global community.

Being a female advocate, I would love to collaborate with Alba in order to actualize its mission which aims at building diversity and equality in neuroscience. It is a good forum to learn and network with international neuroscientist and researchers in order to keep abreast with recent research technologies

I would join Alba Network because of its compelling mission to promote best practices in combating bias, acknowledge exceptional contributions to science and diversity, and offer networking and mentoring opportunities that foster the careers of individuals from underrepresented groups. Alba Network's commitment to equity and inclusivity aligns with my values and aspirations, making it a platform where I can actively contribute to positive change while benefiting from the support and resources they provide.

I am eager to join the ALBA Network due to its commitment to promoting equity and diversity in brain sciences. The network's goals, including countering bias, recognizing contributions to science and diversity, and providing opportunities for underrepresented groups, resonate with my values. I see the network's actions, such as establishing best practices, curating resources, hosting events, and creating awards, as crucial steps toward fostering inclusivity. The emphasis on mentoring, building a scientist database, and advocacy aligns with my belief in collaborative efforts for positive change. Joining the ALBA Network, I aim to actively contribute to its mission and leverage my skills to support its goals.

I am joining Alba so that I can connect with the global neuroscience community and learn from experts in the field. I would like to collaborate with scientists with similar interests. I also look forward towards receiving mentorship towards career development.

Because, as an early career candidate in biomedical science, I want to also develop a wider understanding and knowledge on brain and brain related research. I regard that as a part of my public health education and Promotion path too.

The power of diversity infuses not only my personal beliefs but my scientific research program. My laboratory studies the biological bases and adaptive value of differences between individuals for coping with different environments in distinct physical and social contexts. I am fascinated by both the similarities between people across time and space, and the differences in the way they see the world and respond to it. Everything I have learned from our own work and the work of numerous colleagues has convinced me of the remarkable power of embracing and celebrating the differences as well as the similarities between us.
But of course, my belief in diversity goes far beyond the scientific realm. Being an immigrant in the US from an Arab country, having become engaged in science at a time when women were in the minority, I have experienced firsthand the impact of several types of bias. Conversely, I have done my best to become conscious of and continually revisit my own biases, be they negative or positive. Seeing the human first and foremost, celebrating differences in background, ethnicity, culture, and perspective is a lifelong quest.
I am honored to be on this journey with other neuroscientist colleagues from all over the world. I believe that together, we can do better.

I want to join the ALBA Network to actively contribute to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in neuroscience while connecting with like-minded professionals to foster collaboration and advocacy.

Being part of Alba Network I wish to have more visibility for first world Researchers related to brain and technology

To support equality and diversity in neuroscience
