Women Doing Science

Women Doing Science is a social media movement founded by Alexandra Phillips in 2018. Our team of international volunteers has since featured over 800 diverse women in STEM to an audience of over 100,000 people. The hashtag #womendoingscience has been used over 25,000 times.

This project allows us to revisit our collective idea of what a scientist looks like - moving beyond singluar, stereotyped depictions that saturate traditional media. We hope to showcase as many individual experiences in STEM as possible and to build an increasingly broad portfolio of potential role models for aspiring or current scientists.

The geosciences are the least diverse field of science. Women Doing Science is seeking ways to create opportunities for Black and Indigenous women to join the field.

The Wonder Fund will provide annual travel grants and mentorship opportunities for Black or Indigenous womxn in Earth and space sciences. This annual award will aid recipients in attending an American Geophysical Union conference of their choice.

To establish this endowed travel fund, we need to raise at least $50,000. To get there, we need your help. Every dollar counts.
