Crowdfunding since 2010

The conference on gender, career paths and networking

Women + Science = Extraordinary!? Do you think that something is wrong with this equation? Do you ask yourself, why most people can’t name a female scientist beyond Marie Curie? ... why female scientists are still met with a raised eyebrow? ... why men have to justify themself if they want to take parental leave? We want to talk about all those questions in public. Not over the heads of, but with the next generation. Join us and become part of I, Scientist 2017!

Science Slam

Dear friends and supporters,

we are very excited that - also thanks to your amazing support - in the next days the first I, Scientist conference finally will take place. Before the official start of the conference we warmly invite you all to join our kick-off event:

A Science Slam at the Technical University of Berlin, tomorrow evening (Thursday 11th of May).

The focus here is not on the scientific value but more on the way of presenting it. The aim is to reach the hearts and minds of the audience, which is also the jury that selects the winner of the evening.
The entry is free, you can bring your own drinks or help yourself at our minibar where we offer beer, soft drinks,...

Date & Time: Thursday, 11 May, 8:00 pm (Entrance opens at 7:30 pm)
Venue: TU Berlin, main building
Room: H 1058

We have six exciting talks from different fields of the natural sciences with the following topics:

  • To Locate the Rewards: Can Reinforcement Learning Help Me from Getting Lost? (Psychology) Dian Anggraini, Department of Psychology, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München
  • The fascinating evolution of Plate Tectonics (Geology) Anouk Beniest, University Pierre et Marie Curie Paris
  • Superheroes and what they have to do with the immune system (Biology) Julia M. Braun, Center for Chronic Immunodeficiency (CCI), Medical Center – University of Freiburg
  • Cellwars: neutrophil NETs (Immunology) Jyaysi Desai, Nephrology Centre at LMU Klinikum Munich
  • Mein Glück der Erde liegt auf dem Rücken Trojanischer Pferde – How Greek Mythology Influenced My Scientific Career (Chemistry) Karoline Walker, Institute of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Free University Berlin
  • Primates and Us: Everything comes down to poop (Biology) Doris Wu, Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology


I am looking forward to seeing you tomorrow evening. Of course you are invited spread the word about the Science Slam to anyone interested and to bring friends with you.

Best wishes,
Your I, Scientist Team

For the last week of our campaign we are happy to offer a new special reward: posters from the beautiful "Beyond Curie" project!
The "Beyond Curie" design projects aims to highlight badass women in science, technology, engineering + mathematics. Have a look at their work here: https://www.beyondcurie.com/
And don't miss the opportunity to get one of the 40-limited posters and support our project as well as theirs!

3/20/17 - For the last third of our crowdfunding...

For the last third of our crowdfunding campaign we decided to offer the lab tours and research presentations for a cheaper price. We want to give you the opportunity to meet some of us in person and to learn something exciting about science from up-to-date research projects. Since we can't chance the price of Maja's tour anymore (which is definitely worth the 300€!) we offer that everyone who books her tour, can get an additional reward - either a second lab tour or two extra donated tickets.

3/8/17 - On the occasion of the International Women's...

On the occasion of the International Women's Day we will start an action for 24 hours within our crowdfunding campaign:
For every ticket someone donates here today for someone else, we will give an additional free place for the conference on top of it.
Donate your ticket today and make it possible for two persons to attend the conference, find new role models and discuss about gender-based barriers!
Join us and be part of I, Scientist!
