Central to the Foundation’s commitment to increase the number of women in physics and astronomy in the US academy is its Physics and Astronomy Leadership Council.
Founded in 2017, this distinguished group of eight women in varying career stages throughout the country provides strong leadership, insights, and feedback for the Foundation’s Science program. Each member brings outstanding scientific expertise and experiences, combined with innovative thinking, to increase diversity within the US talent pool. The Foundation is proud to partner with the eight Council members and their home institutions to prototype new practices and increase the level of scientific discoveries that come from a rich and diverse talent pool.
