<\/strong>Together with Ulrike B\u00f6hm, I am running the facebook page \u2018Physikerinnen\u2019 for female physicists<\/strong><\/a>. Every week, we highlight an excellent women in physics (from student to professor) as \u2018female physicist of the week\u2019. A collection of features can be found on the webpage of the Equal Opportunities division of German Physical Society<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you are looking for a female speaker for outreach purposes, you can have a look at lists like
– GAGE – 500 women scientists<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
It can be a big help to LGBTQIA+ students, research associates, and staff to have a network of contacts who are LGBTQIA+ themselves or are supportive allies (like myself). To help build such a network, some colleagues and collaborators are choosing to put their names on so-called “Out lists” and “Ally lists” – publicly indicating that they are LGBTQIA+ or that they are allies supportive of LGBTQIA+ people, and that they are willing to be contacted to discuss things like the LGBTQIA+ climate at their institution and in their city. Here are the links to some organisations and collected lists relevant for areas touching my field of research:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>93% Club<\/a> – a charitable social enterprise dedicated to improving social mobility in the UK
Newcastle University PARTNERS summer school programme<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>BBSTEM<\/a> – a network to inspire the young Black British generation to pursue STEM subjects in university and beyond
BWIS Network<\/a> – a network for Black Women In Science
Cite Black Women+ in Physics Bibliography<\/a>
African American Women in Physics\u00a0
<\/a>Black in Astro<\/a> – celebrating and amplifying the Black experience in space-related fields<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>There are a wide range of physical and mental factors affecting access to and involvement with science, here are just a few interesting projects aimed at bridging this gap<\/p>\n\n\n\n
