🚨 Save the Date! 📅 8 Oct 2024 | 🕡 6:30-8:30 PM Join us at #SfN2024 in Chicago, for a special ALBA-IBRO Social featuring Dr. Mayank Chugh (College of William and Mary, US). Dr Chugh has worked collaboratively with multiple stakeholders at the institutional and federal levels to reduce opaque and discriminatory structural policies to help retain early career researchers from marginalised backgrounds in academia. He will share his insights on the challenges postdocs face. Factors such as a lack of work-life balance and job insecurity significantly impact their professional journeys, leading many exceptional scientists to reconsider a career within academia. 👉🏾 https://loom.ly/38nSTKI Snacks & drinks provided!

🌐 Indigenous Voices in Neuroscience: Transforming Research Practices. 📅 16 Sept, 9 am ET / 3 pm CEST / 9 pm AWST 🙌🏽 supported by IBRO (International Brain Research Organization) 🤝 In collaboration with the IBI Crosscultural Working Group. 👉🏿 Register https://loom.ly/ORGhG20
📣 Please join us! 📣 The IBI Crosscultural Working Group, together with the ALBA Network, is hosting a webinar on Indigenous perspectives. As part of the ALBA-International Brain Research Organization (IBRO) Global Diversity Series, this webinar focuses on the intersection of Indigenous knowledge and neuroscience, highlighting the systemic challenges that neuroscientists from these communities navigate in academia, and the ongoing efforts to redefine what constitutes Indigenous research. Participants will gain insights into the lived experiences of Indigenous neuroscientists. The session will address the systemic barriers these scientists encounter, including underrepresentation, negative stereotypes, cultural misappropriation, the lack of recognition for Indigenous origin, and the need for better self-identification mechanisms within academic institutions. The webinar will also present best practices from projects that integrate Indigenous health research with community involvement. These examples will illustrate the importance of cultural awareness for a shift towards more inclusive, holistic methodologies when studying the brain. This webinar aims to foster a deeper appreciation for Indigenous perspectives in neuroscience, encouraging the adoption of inclusive practices that respect and elevate the contributions of all scientists.
