Take Action Tuesday

In our suggested actions this week, we focus on ways to support diversity. 

  • February is Black History Month and a great oppurtunity to support groups and causes we believe in.  We suggest helping groups that support diversity grow in your communities and on Facebook and Twitter (e.g. Vanguard STEM).

  • Let’s help each other connect with young women interested in science. Find a local science event and volunteer as a speaker or science fair judge. One immediate opportunity is the Expanding Your Horizons conference in Fort Collins April 8 and looking for volunteers. Post similar opportunities near you in the comments section. 

500 Women Scientists is on its way to becoming a powerful organization representing the voices of tens of thousands of women scientists all over the globe. With your gift we can pay for the vital infrastructure we need. Plus, your donations help keep 500WS resources free and open, one less barrier to women in science.
