Let’s work together for an inclusive future.
We believe women in the sciences includes any person identifying as a woman who works, studies, or aspires to be in a science-related field. We offer support and real-life guidance for navigating a balanced scientific career path and provide a platform for women to learn from one another’s experiences.
The values of our mission:
