I'd like to do research in neuroscience considering equity in representation on a daily basis. I would like to work to close the gap between what we know about male and female nervous system, because the latter has been understudied for decades.

I am very passionate about increasing diverse perspectives into neuroscience and trying to get involved with all groups taking this initiative seriously.

I believe in making science a fairer field. I believe that passion for knowledge and enthusiasm for science are not dependent on age, gender, nationality or financial ability. The development of knowledge as a basic driver of scientific research should not be capitalized on, as it excludes people and ideas based solely on their financial possibilities. I would love to be engaged in an association that "levels" the playing field.

Because it promotes equality and diversity in the brain sciences, which is much needed.

I am joining ALBA because it will keep me updated on the last initiatives regarding neuroscience in the world and it represents minorities like the neuroscience community in which I develop my career.

I am an early career researcher from Brazil investigating immune mechanisms in psychosis to identify better treatments. I wish to join Alba to increase my scientific network, have the opportunity to participate in international conferences and disseminate my research outcomes internationally.

I strongly believe in the importance of inclusivity and of giving equal chanches to humans in all their diversities. It is crucial to tackle obstacles that prevent all people to take equal part in neurosciences and to develop their full potential in this field.

I interested in connecting with other scientists in my field around the world to be able to share my work and generate meaningful collaborations.

Alba's goals (and approaches to achieve them) align nicely with my own goals and values, as I'm very passionate about promoting diversity and equity in science.

I want to help give better visibility to underrepresented groups in neuroscience, and I’m extremely interested in getting involved in activities that promote these populations. I have been working with the World Association for Cultural Psychiatry (WACP) for over 10 years to promote the inclusion of academics, scientists, and clinicians from underrepresented countries. Specifically, I have worked with the WACP journal, the WCPRR, which publishes quality research papers from these countries. I’m now the incoming editor-in-chief of the WCPRR. I want to work with the ALBA Network to help underrepresented neuroscientists. I’m hoping to learn from ALBA how to better facilitate underrepresented communities and to contribute the approaches that I’ve learned from working with the WACP.

I am the gender equality correspondent in my laboratory.

To be able to connect with neuroscientists around the world who advocate and step up for under-represented groups in science.
