Membership

I want to be part of the Alba Network community because I come from a country where scientific research is very underfunded and it is extremely difficult for young scientists to develop professionally. I would like to take advantage of the opportunities offered by Alba Network, not only to develop my career, but also to get in touch with neuroscientists from other parts of the world and share experiences.

I would like to learn more about how to do leadership in an inclusive manner

Because as part of underrepresented group in Science, (latin american woman) that works abroad, I consider crucial to give voice to us. Unfortunately, our realty is diverse, therefore the union is the only way to move forward. And to build a more conscious society.

As a woman that doesn't live in her native country, I have faced and witnessed several acts of discrimination in my surroundings and I would love to get together to present solutions to those.

I am here to express my interest in joining Alba Network community as a young women neuroscientist (junior PI and group leader in Sevilla, Spain). As someone who is passionate about advancing our understanding of the brain, I believe that Alba Network offers a unique opportunity to learn and grow as a scientist.

I am excited to contribute to the community and collaborate with other members on cutting-edge research in the field. Thank you for considering my application, and I look forward to the opportunity to be a part of this great network.

I have been working in the field of neuroscience for the last 23 years. I have a physical disability since I had a car accident when I was 12, and I have been every lab I have been working the first and only disable person for long time. I would like to use my experience to help others and to improve the working condition and also the perception of the disable people working in science.

This organization was brought to my attention and has overlapping goals with others that I have been engaged with for some time.

Because as mid-career scientist and a woman, I feel represented and recognised. I am eager to join a network that promotes diversity and equality in science and offers the opportunity of mentoring.

I feel very much in tune with the goals ALBA intend to achieve, particularly the networking aspect that could promote collaborative science, mentoring, data access, be informed of putative collaborators who share common view of science and good practice, and how it should be conducted, to avoid or decrease the impact of powerful lobbies.

I've contributed to EDI in neurosciences through my activities as external consultat for the human brain project and are looking foward to share the experiences and to contribute.

I want to live in a world where there are equal rights for all to succeed in neuroscience and unfortunately that is not the case at the moment. Alba are trying to increase diversity and equity within brain science, which I fully support and wish to be part of!

Joining a society committed to promoting equality and inclusivity for neuroscientists presents numerous advantages. Firstly, it directly aligns with the objective of creating an egalitarian environment within this field, where all individuals can thrive irrespective of their background. By becoming a member, I can actively participate in creating positive, evidence-based strategies that increase diversity and foster inclusivity at all levels. This will not only augment my understanding of best practices in diversity and inclusion but also empower me to make meaningful contributions to the field. Furthermore, your society can provide me with abundant resources and learning materials, aiding you in bolstering your professional development. Lastly, through active involvement, I position myself as a promoter of change, serving as an ally to underrepresented groups – a step forward in personal growth and societal betterment.

I am interested in becoming an active member of the organization in order to contribute to the visibility of less-represented groups as well as the creation of international opportunities of collaboration to overcome this isssue.

I am committed to promote diversity in brain research

The improvement of diversity and equity in science is an important mission that I would like to support and help promoting.
