If we want to go fast we go alone, but if we want to go far (and really make a difference) we must go together. This week, we encourage you to unite with women scientists where you live and join us on our mission to serve society by making science open, inclusive, and accessible.
New to 500 Women Scientists? Start with these actions:
Join a 500 Women Scientists Pod. Our local chapters, pods as we call them, have formed all over the globe, maybe there is one near you!
No pod in your location? We invite you to start a new pod. You’ll have our support! For inspiration, read about how the Knoxville, TN pod got started.
Already a pod member?
Organize the first pod meeting of 2018. The Washington, DC pod has their meeting on the second Tuesday every month, or memorably abbreviated as “STEM.”
Do you need ideas for pod activities. Santa Barbara organized a speed mentor event, read about it here.
Join the Science Salons for Puerto Rico campaign. So far, 13 pods have signed up to organize science salons in their cities.
Use our Pod Slack to communicate with us and other pods!
