About us
This group is for women - please have a clear face photo when requesting to join our group!
NYC Women in STEM is a community founded by a few women who recognized the need for female academics and professionals in male-dominated fields. We are focused on creating a safe space where we can strengthen our network, share experiences and knowledge, and receive support as we navigate our roles.
As an organization, we are also passionate about advancing gender equity in our disciplines, and fostering conversations around interdisciplinary learning. Learn more about us here.
You can find our official events on our meetup and website, whereas informal meet-ups will be posted in our WhatsApp group, which is reserved for members that have attended at least one event.
We hope to see you at our next event!
Please consider contributing to our yearly meetup fees, web hosting costs, or pizza at our next event!

Awakenings by Oliver Sacks
Awakenings is the remarkable account of a group of patients who contracted sleeping-sickness during the great epidemic just after World War I. Frozen in a decades-long sleep, these men and women were given up as hopeless until 1969, when Dr. Sacks gave them the then-new drug L-DOPA, which had an astonishing, explosive, “awakening” effect. Dr. Sacks recounts the moving case histories of these individuals, the stories of their lives, and the extraordinary transformations they underwent with treatment. This book, which W. H. Auden called “a masterpiece,” is a passionate exploration of the most general questions of health, disease, suffering, care, and the human condition. (source)
