After developing and working with BrainWaves (link attached), a program aimed at bringing hands on EEG research into the classroom, my passion for STEM outreach and equal opportunity in the foundational years in high school regardless of economic background has grown immensely. If we can cultivate interests in neuroscience at a young age, we may then finally be able to see a demographic change reflected in the professional world of research.

I joined ALBA because :
Women's contributions to sciences have been underestimated. More than ever, equality among genders must operate in neurosciences (and every other scientific fields). I believe that it is extremely important that every human being must have the same rights, opportunities and recognition, so totally agree with Alba Network actions.
