Join our Atlanta Pod via Orca, the national 500 Women Scientist's membership database. After you make a profile, you'll be able to select a local Pod to join - find us in the Atlanta, GA region! We review and approve membership requests within 7 days, after which point you will also be added to our listserv to keep updated about upcoming events.
Who is eligible to join? We follow guidelines of inclusivity put forth by our national organization:
"Pods are open to any women and gender minorities who support the mission and goals of 500 Women Scientists. We believe and understand that gender is fluid and can be difficult to define. We built this movement specifically for people who have been historically marginalized in the fields of STEMM due to their gender identity and expression. This includes (but is not limited to) women, gender nonbinary, genderqueer, transgender, agender, and bigender folks. Members self-identify their gender identity and we aim to make our organization, and furthermore our Pods, a safe space and encourage members to only share as much information about their identities that they feel safe and comfortable with doing so."
More information and in-depth detail about how to join a local Pod can be found here. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us.
