ABOUT US

WOMEN • SCIENCE • CAREERS

While women today are making their mark in professions such as medicine, law, business, and politics, they are still underrepresented in science / STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math).

At Women in Science (WIS), our goal is to build a supportive community for women in science / STEM fields. Our mission is to promote recruitment and retention of women in science, and to enlist companies and institutions for a broad coalition of educators and employers to help bring down the barriers and empower women in their chosen fields. We also aim to inspire, encourage, and support young girls who aspire to pursue careers in science / STEM.

The world needs science, and science needs women.
