Supporting Women In Science

Supporting Women In Science A University based society aimed at supporting and celebrate women in science and to promote gender equality in STEM fields.

Our mission is to celebrate and support women in science. We are currently based at La Trobe University, Melbourne, Australia. We plan to focus our efforts on:
