Science Grrl

A UK grassroots network celebrating women and non-binary people in science: local connections with a national voice. Because science is for everyone.

Hi all!
As Twitter is sadly rather a hostile place these days, so we'll be mostly on science-grrl at bsky instead. Please come and connect there, but we will update this account with events and big news from time to time.
Peace out :)

[Science Grrl @Science_Grrl]

It's been so encouraging to see a diversity of experts commenting on the recent solar eclipse - more of this, please!

[Science Grrl @Science_Grrl]

Superb resource for all in education:
