Hezekiah Branch obtained a B.S. in Cognitive and Brain Sciences in 2021 and a Masters in Data Science in 2023 at Tufts University. He secured early admission to the Graduate School of Engineering during his junior year. He boasts a rich background with internships, fellowships, and research assistantships at renowned institutions such as Tufts School of Medicine, IBM Research, Google Research, Harvard, MIT, and Prudential. He graduated with honours from the Correlation One DS4A Fellows program and received his alma mater's prestigious Presidential Award for Civic Life. He's also actively fostered diversity and inclusion initiatives and co-founded his school's first organisation for Black students in computer science. Furthermore, his interests extend beyond academia, encompassing a passion for anime and graphic novels, with a love for cooking diverse dishes, including Trini cuisine. He's an enthusiast of graph theory and network science and promises exciting insights in this domain.

Learning objectives

1. Explain the neuroscience implications of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) within the context of human brain research. 2. Analyze the current landscape of DEIB in the neuroscience research space and identify potential areas for improvement. 3. Discuss new and innovative approaches to promote inclusivity in neuroscience research. 4. Assess the challenge of balancing the costs and benefits of increased DEIB in brain research. 5. Examine real-world case studies of successful DEIB measures in neuroscience research.
