🧠 Did you check out this study?

🌐 ALBA’s Gender & Sexual Diversity Working Group surveyed over 400 LGBTQIA+ individuals who study or work in neuroscience.

🔬 The results show that legislation affect decisions within the scientific careers of the majority of participants.

🌟 Positive institutional climate leads to higher satisfaction and better mental health among LGBTQIA+ scientists.
