Celebrating PRIDE Month
500 Queer Scientists is a visibility campaign for LGBTQ+ people and their allies working
in STEM and STEM-supporting jobs — a group that collectively represents a powerful
force of scientific progress and discovery. 1,926 stories and counting....
The goal is to ensure the next STEM generation has LGBTQ+ role models; help the current generation recognize they’re not alone; create opportunities for community connections and greater visibility within STEM.
500 Queer Scientists is fueled by individual, self-submitted bios and stories intended to boost the recognition and awareness of queer scientists. Have a story to tell? Use the "Contribute" link found on the 500 Queer Scientists below.
