Epidemiology
I joined ALBA because :
Being a lesbian I have experienced discrimination first-hand. However, I am very lucky to work in a place where I am valued and respected and it allows me to have a happy career in brain research which I love. But I know this isn't the case for everyone yet I believe it could be with enough education and understanding. That's why I chose to join the ALBA network because its mission is to work towards this goal , not only on the grounds of sexual orientation, but all aspects of equality.
