Welcome!
This website was created with the purpose of helping women in physics, as well as in STEM. Our hope is to create a safe place for women to collaborate and share stories and ideas. If you have any thoughts on how to strengthen our vision please share it! Keep in mind there is not a well paid team behind this just two women that work on this site on their free time. We have big visions for this site and this is only the beginning. Thank you!
Stronger Together
This site is dedicated to assisting women in physics no matter what stage they are in life. You can do this and we are here to help!
