Weekly Wrap Up

“If you’re not outraged, you’re not paying attention”

The events in Charlottesville, VA over the weekend and in Spain this week have left us reeling. With a heavy heart,  500 WS leader Rukmani Vijayaraghavan (who lives in Charlottesville, VA) posted some ways we could support Charlottesville and things we can do to support each other. We reaffirm our commitment to continue to stand up against the normalization of hateful rhetoric and violence. 

WHAT WE'VE DONE

  • Rukmani Vijayaraghavan's list of actions #Charlottesville

  • Continuing to speak up for science (still taking op-ed submissions).

  • New 500 Women Scientists pods in Kuwait, Mongolia, and Chile - welcome!

WHAT WE LIKE

Our mission is to serve society by making science open, inclusive, and accessible, and to transform society by fighting racism, patriarchy, and oppressive societal norms
