The perseverance of women in science has been on full display this past year: they have made seminal scientific discoveries, taken up new leadership positions, started companies, and led the charge in the fight against COVID-19. The Rosalind Franklin Society celebrates these accomplishments, and many more, by recognizing, fostering, and advancing critical contributions from women in the life sciences and affiliated disciplines.

In late January, the Rosalind Franklin Society will host our annual end-of-year virtual conference. During this 3-day, complimentary event (held on January 25, 26, and 27), we will hear insights from leaders in cutting-edge fields such as precision medicine and space exploration to large and small biotech industry leaders, as well as journalists, and new leadership in Washington. We know you will want to hear these presentations from prestigious scholars, authors, award winners, government leaders from NSF, OTPS, NASA, and the casting producer from Shark Tank!

To celebrate the life, work, and symbolic power of Dr. Franklin, the Society recognizes the work of outstanding women scientists, cultivates more significant opportunities for women in the sciences, and motivates and educates new generations of women who have this calling.
