🔬 Science& is stepping up to support scientists - but we need your help!
Recent federal cuts risk losing an entire generation of brilliant, dedicated scientists.
🔋 They need skills that save their time and energy - and communities that build belonging and resilience.
Our bread and butter 😏 We want to reach 400 scientists next year and are raising funds to offer as many no-cost spots as possible.
🎁 Donate Today - just $40 sponsors a scientist!
Every donation made before the end of Tuesday Dec. 2nd will be DOUBLED by a donor match 👯♀️

Marianna is a 6th year immunology PhD candidate preparing to defend her thesis. She has an impressive project, but she's struggling to make figures.
Marianna is biracial, speaks English as a second language, and is the first in her family to go to college. At this exciting career milestone, she's feeling drained, overwhelmed and unsure.
🔷 Marianna attended Show Off Your Science - our workshop to help scientists make clear figures.
Afterward, she felt accomplished and optimistic.
⭐️ She said, “Fantastic workshop. I redesigned my figures for my paper and applied the design techniques to all of my talk slides!”

What does it feel like to Belong in STEM? And who feels that way?
Well - we asked.
❇️ Our national survey invited current and former STEM PhD trainees who felt like an outsider - for any reason - to tell us about their experience.
The top demographics to respond were women, people who struggle with their mental health, LGBTQ+ people, and people of color. There were many other identities represented, as well.
⭐️ Our most important takeaway - 83% of respondents hold TWO OR MORE of these identities.
This means that any meaningful intervention to build belonging in STEM must meet the needs of a highly intersectional audience.
🔷 This is who every Science& workshop is designed for.
Because there are concrete skills can build belonging - and empowerment - in who you already are.

Did you know? The inspiration for Science&'s brand colors come from the real worlds of science and art!
120 years ago, Henri Matisse finished the iconic painting, "Le bonheur de vivre (The Joy of Life)."
With its bright colors and expressive figures - a striking contrast to traditional art of the time - this painting represents a radical breakthrough in modern art.
"The Joy of Life" reminds us of the power in seeing the world differently, and the beauty that can be found in breaking conventions.
This painting is the inspiration for our brand color, "Matisse."

Simone is an undergraduate doing her first research project. She has to give a talk on her work - but she gets really nervous speaking publicly.
Simone is a woman of color and the first in her family to pursue STEM. She loves science, but she's wondering if she's "cut out" for it.
🔷 Simone attended Own the Room - our workshop that helps scientists give great talks.
Afterward, Simone felt empowered by news skills and more confident in her abilities.
⭐️ Simone’s faculty advisor shared:
"The improvement was stunning! It was an exceptional presentation and she passed with flying colors."

What does it feel like to Belong in STEM? Who feels that way? There's not a lot of data (especially for advanced degrees) -- so we asked.
We conducted a national survey on Belonging in Science. We invited current and former PhD trainees who had felt like an outsider in STEM -- for any reason -- to respond.
The top demographic to respond? Women.
Despite increasing representation in incoming PhD cohorts -- even being the majority in some fields -- 70% of people who feel like outsiders in STEM are women.
What's a girl to do? We're often told what to change about ourselves, or what give up, all while representation continues to lag.
This is where Science& comes in -- because there are concrete skills that can build, and bolster, a strong sense of belonging.
Our targeted curriculum is designed to empower who you already are, today, and equip you with evergreen professional skills to tackle the idiosyncrasies of a STEM career.

What a way to celebrate International Women's Day! Science& was in Los Angeles for GALA’s Young Women's Career Conference (YWCC).
The theme was "Hustle With Purpose. Lead With Confidence. Make Your Mark." That energy was in every room. 💜⚡️
It was a joy to support these bright young people who will shape what’s next for this city, and beyond.
Thank you for the invite!

Did you know? The inspiration for Science&'s brand colors come from the real worlds of science and art!
In honor of Women's History Month, we're sharing the story of Artemisia Gentilischi.
Artemisia Gentileschi was an Italian Baroque painter who broke barriers as one of the first widely recognized female artists in Europe.
She was celebrated for the technical skill and emotional depth of her dramatic works, which often featured powerful depictions of women from myth and scripture.
She is the inspiration and namesake for our brand color, "Artemisia."
