Win4Science

We are a women's led initiative for hacking the gender gap in life sciences - by identifying the issues we face, and discussing strategies to overcome those barriers, we can lift each other up and create a #Win4Science

#McGill24 is here and donations made today are eligible for a maximum matching ratio of 1:1!  Support students with caregiving responsibilities by financially assisting them in attending conferences or speaker engagements by donating now: crowdfunding.mcgill.ca/ui/ma…

Win4Science continues to fundraise for its student caregiver travel awards this year and hear from our past recipients on why awards like this matter! Consider donating using this link: crowdfunding.mcgill.ca/ui/ma…

Thank you to everyone who donated yesterday! We were able to raise $4.6K which will help us support up to 20 student caregivers!

Caregiving is exceedingly expensive. Assisted living and nursing home facilities can cost up to $8,900 per month. As an increasing number of early-career scientists must cover the cost of long-term care for their elders, many will have no choice but to leave science altogether.

“About 60 percent of eldercare providers work while caregiving, with most reporting that caregiving negatively affects their work,” the National Academies report said.

Did you know? In 2021, the National Academies found that 56% of women in the academic sciences, engineering and math have experienced increased eldercare demands as a result of the pandemic.

2/2 This will amount to another 2 awards for McGill caregiver students! Please consider supporting #Win4Science if you haven't already @mcgillu @McGillMed @McGillAlumni

1/2 We have another exciting announcement to make for #McGill24! Between 5:00-6:00PM EDT, the initiative that raises the most money will receive an additional $500 from generous donors!

It is never too late to highlight who we are and what we do! This initiative was started and is sustained by an incredibly hard-working team and we hope to share our passions, goals and initiatives with you over the coming weeks!

Meet our initiative's founder, Lisa Münter! She created Win4Science with the aim to educate and raise awareness on the barriers women and minorities face in academia.
