On the Basis of Sex is an uplifting biopic about the late Ruth Bader Ginsberg. This film tells the story of her career, from her education at Harvard and professorship at Columbia to her truly game-changing lawyering for gender equality and equal rights. While most of us are scientists, not lawyers, we hope this story will be inspiring and enlightening as we continue the battle for equality in our own workplaces.

POSTPONED
4th Annual Geeks Who Drink: Quiz for GWISH
 @ Honolulu Beerworks (map)
New date TBD

Back in 2016, Graduate Women in Science Hawai'i  began fundraising in order to create what has become the GWISH Research & Travel Grant—a small pot of funding to support our local members in conducting their research or to participate in conferences and other professional development opportunities.

Enter Quiz for a Cause. This beautiful opportunity allows GWISH to fundraise during one of Geeks Who Drink's regularly scheduled trivia times at Honolulu Beerworks. It's simple: quiz participants pay an entry fee of $5. One entry fee per team goes into a cash purse for the winners; the rest goes towards GWISH, but more specifically, the Research & Travel Grant. We will also be holding a raffle for the chance to win extra prizes!

What's not to love? Trivia, beer, prizes, and supporting stellar graduate women in science. Trivia starts at 7PM, but we advise you to show up a bit early to snag a table and order a round of drinks before the fun begins!

OUTREACH: Girls on the Run 5K: To Space and Beyond!


Our semesterly partnership with Girls on the Run Hawai'i returns! For those who haven't participated before, GOTR is an organization that leads 3rd-8th grade girls through a 10-week program through a curriculum focused on emotional and physical wellness. At the end of the program, the girls are prepared to complete a celebratory 5K! Before the run, participants engage in "Inspiration Stations," and ours is full of STEM education!

This year our theme is "To Space and Beyond!" focusing on space and atmospheric sciences. We have rocket launchers, "moon sand", DIY cloud-in-a-bottle, and more activities planned! We're going to need tons of volunteers, no experience in space or atmospheric science required! Come share your passion for science and STEM with these awesome 3rd-8th grade girls.​
