We’re going to keep this account up, but won’t be posting to it after this week, so be sure to follow @500womensci for updates!
Some big news: 500 Women in Medicine is fully integrating into @500womensci. Check out the blog post here for more context and next steps: medium.com/@500womenscientis…
We know that medicine and public health are important areas for our work together, so we’re excited to move ahead under the same banner.
We continue to strive to reach and support women in and across all science fields and work to enact institutional and culture change to ensure all underrepresented groups have the chance to thrive and succeed in science.
If you’ve been involved in @500WIM, you are absolutely welcome in @500womensci, in local pods, in our campaigns, and in the organization’s leadership. We want you.
Members of the current 500 WIM leadership team will continue to weigh in on various projects, such as revamping the Request a Woman Scientist platform, and many will continue on the 500WS leadership team.
We believe that fully integrating 500WIM into 500 Women Scientists will help everyone involved center our shared mission to advance inclusion, equity and justice in all our scientific fields. Thus, we are taking the steps to do that.
And, over the last year we have learned that having a satellite organization focused on medicine sends a mixed message about what kinds of experts are considered “scientists,” which undermines our goal of inclusion.
Over the last year, @500WIM has grown, created an internal leadership team, published articles, attended medical conferences, and reached out to many women across medical fields. This org has done amazing work!
The goals of @500WIM were to bring attention to the underrepresentation of women within the medical sciences and to better integrate #womeninmedicine into the @500womensci network.
In December 2018, we launched 500 Women in Medicine (@500WIM) as a satellite of the main 500 Women Scientists organization in an effort to reach more women in the medical sciences.

I strongly feel that in order for real change in D&I to happen, there needs to be a change in WHO is in leadership.
