The Lost Women of Science Tip Line
Here at Lost Women of Science, it is our goal to rescue female scientists from the jaws of obscurity, but we need your help! If there’s a woman you’re aware of who achieved something remarkable but has been omitted from the historical record, we want to know.
Leave a brief message (or a long one!) at (415) 754-0625 and we’ll be sure to get back to you. Be sure to leave your full name, where you're calling from, and the best way to reach you, as well as the scientist's full name and her scientific field. We appreciate your support in bringing the stories of trailblazing female scientists to light!
