Queer Science Society San Diego 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Given the state of the world and this website, we’re moving our socials primarily to Instagram and Bluesky, where we just made an account! Find us at queersciencesd.bsky.social 🦋 We’ll have a small presence here for a little bit, but we’ll be winding it down.

Join us next week for Qs&As on the Mesa, where talented queer scientists from across institutions will be presenting their excellent science, including @Canderson0402 ! RSVP today at forms.office.com/r/LqiNq7ait1!

Join QSS this Sunday at 1pm for a casual meetup at the Japanese Friendship Garden in Balboa Park! No RSVP, just show up and join us!

On Friday QSS leadership stood up for science at UCSD! This is the beginning, not the end — we need to keep pressure on this administration for what they’re trying to do to science, to queer and trans people, to immigrants, and others!

Tomorrow! We’ll be there and we hope to see many of you there. Science is for everyone!
