The mission of 500 Women Scientists is to serve society by making science open, inclusive, and accessible and to transform society by fighting racism, patriarchy, and oppressive societal norms. We are unapologetically equity and justice focused.

We welcome self-identifying scientists from all types of professions, including retired and aspiring scientists, and people from all science, technology, engineering, math and medical fields. We welcome all self-identifying womxn and non-binary scientists to join us.

We are a local chapter, called a pod, of 500 Women Scientists based in Tallahassee, Florida. Pods set priorities that are locally relevant and important for their communities, while in line with the broader organizational goals of inclusion, equity, and accessibility in science and fighting racism, patriarchy, and oppressive social norms.

Are you a scientist in the Tallahassee area? Join us! Find our socials and get in touch using the links at the bottom of the page. Fill out our pod survey so we can better engage with you.
