Science Cafe

Today, on International Trans Day of Visibility, we want to show that trans scientists are integral members of the scientific community. It is important to remember that trans individuals have always been here and they are an integral part of our communities and the history of science. We share this list in the hope that these scientists and their work will inspire current and future scientists of every community.

While we have only picked out a few to highlight today, we hope you take time to engage with their stories, celebrate these individuals, and to learn more about other trans scientists in your field.

Check out our website for more information on each of these incredible scientists, as well as additional links to their science and stories. Link in bio.
