Membership

I support the cause of Alba network and strongly advocate its policies in my life.

I would like to support diversity and equality in neuroscience.

I am very passionate about EDI and would love to volunteer and help with some of the projects but would also love some support with advancing my career as a woman scientist.

To give better visibility to women working in brain research

I believe that the neurosciences are better off when they become fairer and more diverse. And that we can only make this happen by working together and supporting each other.

At my University, I am working towards a more equitable, diverse and inclusive community. I'm on various EDI committees.

I got recommendation from my supervisors. I wish to have more connection and network with other scientists.

I want to promote equality and diversity in the brain sciences, and particularly public and higher education institutions. I want to get training, advocate and develop strategies to provide access for underrepresented groups.

I join ALBA Network because I believe their is a unbalanced gender representation in higher level positions in general.
I hope that these type of networks can help override this bias

I am excited to join the ALBA Network because promoting equity and diversity in the brain sciences is essential for advancing the field and unlocking new discoveries. I am particularly keen on working with groups to increase the inclusion of underrepresented scientists and models of African ancestry. ALBA's goals thus align with my values and my desire to make a positive impact. I am excited about the opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals and work together to create a more inclusive and equitable future for the brain sciences.

I'm a full-time professional scientific editor. In my current role, I oversee a portfolio of journals focusing on neurology, neuropsychopharmacology and translational neuroscience.

As an editor, I'd like to help reduce gender discrimination in these fields, and help women neuroscientists not only to get published but also to cut their teeth into peer review and editorial roles, either as academic editors or in publishing.

I encourage people who are keen on getting more experience in authoring and peer reviewing scientific articles, as well as those who are interested in getting in editorial board roles to get in touch with me - women are generally underrepresented as authors, peer reviewers and editors and this is something I would like to help change.

Moreover, I'm happy to answer questions and give talks about becoming a professional scientific editor - it's a little known career path, but many professional editors feels it enables them to have better work-life balance than working in the academia, while still making the most of their experience in and passion for science.

My research background is primarily in electrophysiology and behavioural neurogenetics (and yes, like so many of us, I've been assumed to be the secretary!) so the mission of ALBA is very close to my heart.
