There are a few other projects that are working towards the same goal. We need to make sure that we're in touch with them and learning from them and/or working with them rather than duplicating any effort or stepping on toes etc.

Please add any websites and projects as comments below.

To get us started:

Totally forgot to mention LGBT STEM which does interviews with LGBT STEM people. :smiley:

KirstieJane commented 8 years ago

Ah great! Thank you @gedankenstuecke! I'm really motivated to include LGBT advocates :)

gedankenstuecke commented 8 years ago

That's great :rainbow:! You should try writing to them, because I know they will have many more LGBT in STEM initiatives which could be added as well.

KirstieJane commented 8 years ago

Will do! Thanks again for the suggestions. Keep em coming :smiley:

Adding SheSource. From the website: "SheSource is an online braintrust of female experts on diverse topics designed to serve journalists, producers and bookers who need female guests and sources."

Just stumbled upon http://www.innovationwomen.com. They look to be a monetized version of what we're doing. Women have to pay to create profiles, organizations get free accounts.
