500 Women Scientists is a non-profit group dedicated to making science open, inclusive, and accessible.[1][2] To achieve this mission, they work to increase scientific literacy through public engagement, advocate for science and equity, and provide self-identifying women with the tools and support they need to reach their full potential.[3][4] The organization began with an open letter in November 2016 and was officially recognized as a 501(c)3 in May 2018.[5]
