I joined ALBA because :
Because I want to engage in collective action for diversity, equity and inclusion in neuroscience. As a cis-white male with a professorship in Germany, I understand it as my duty to work twice as hard for this cause, given the undeserved privilege that I am treated with. At the same time, as a person with disability (severe hearing loss), I have experienced exclusion and can identify underlying mechanisms.
