Membership

great opportunity for networking about neuroscience

To promote diversity and equality in the field of neuroscience and beyond.

To support women in brain research

Because I would like to help eliminate systemic imbalances or biases in research.

I would like to join the network to be aware of the latest advances and scope of science into the world

I'd like to share these principles of equity and inclusion among colleagues

I work as the Strategic Manager for Cambridge Neuroscience, an Interdisciplinary Research Centre within the University of Cambridge connecting >800 researchers across the University, who are involved with research into the nervous system. My role involves working with academics from across the University (including underrepresented groups) to support the interdisciplinary scientific community in neuroscience. This involves workshops, seminars, facilitating introductions and external interactions, an interactive website, communications and public engagement. I would like to bring the work of Alba to Cambridge and beyond (in my role as chair of FENS Communication committee).

Our research funding agency is committed to supporting diversity. We became aware of the Alba Network when Prof. Erin Schuman (one of our four CRC Advisory Board Members) was awarded the 2020 Alba Diversity Prize. By joining the Alba Network, we hope to share Alba's news and events with our consortium members through our monthly newletter among other channels.

I would love to be in touch with other people that share my commitment for inclusion of the LGBT+ community in sciences

Advice from Barbara Franke. To support our research and to work towards the broad implementation of measures counteracting inequality in the brain sciences.

To express my support and see if in the future there could be some actions that I could support.
To express that not only people part of under-represented groups are sensitive to the question of inclusion and equality.

Because I have interest in promoting diversity in science.

Over the past decade, I dedicated my professional career to developing tools that could demolish barriers between psychiatry, cognitive science, computer science, mathematics, and neuroscience, between the U.S.A. and Palestine, while integrating my scientific and medical training. My research spans treatment, symptoms, cognition, and neural layers to reimagine psychiatry and neurology while accounting for the variability across the different components, with no individual left behind. Taken from a community perspective, this research philosophy is the technical definition of diversity, equity, and inclusion, i.e., the core mission of ALBA. I avidly look forward to contributing to the ALBA mission and network.
