Promotional poster for the ALBA Network webinar series titled "Breaking down the ivory tower". The featured episode is "A journey of self-awareness towards understanding disability", scheduled for 3 December 2025 at 10:00 EST / 16:00 CET. The poster includes a portrait of Dr. Dionna Williams from Emory University, US, wearing red glasses and smiling. The background shows chess pieces with a large hand making one piece fall down with another piece. The ALBA Network logo appears at the top in purple with the tagline "Towards diversity and equity in brain sciences – a division of FENS", and a QR code is displayed at the bottom right alongside the hashtag #InternationalDayofPersonswithDisabilities.

For the first part of the session, Tanja Schmidt and Iryna Vlasiuk gave a presentation on the concept of diffusion MRI based on their manuscript written for a young audience. Two young scientists then critically reviewed their work to see if it's suitable for publication 📝🗣️.
