ScienceGrrl

ScienceGrrl is a grass-roots volunteer collective, serving the UK. Our members are mostly, but not exclusively, working female scientists. Our executive committee are based in London and Manchester, but we have local chapters in Aberdeen, Preston, Liverpool, Manchester, Bristol, Swansea, Oxford and London, with more springing up all the time. Our mission is to celebrate and promote STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) careers by building and strengthening a network of people who are passionate about passing on their love of STEM to the next generation. We encourage and resource our members to make a difference where they are, in partnership with local schools, science museums, and existing outreach initiatives. We also aim to provide our network with a national voice, through social media, partnering with like-minded organisations and policy makers, and working to improve the visibility of female scientists in mainstream culture.
