U.S. Women in STEM - Australia 🇦🇺 will welcome you

A lovely woman asked me to help spread the word that U.S. Steministas are welcome in Australia. At first, this felt like a tough thing to write about. 

Because a brain drain of these amazing women will set the U.S. back so far…but you know what…FUCK  THEM ALL. They’re actively trying to erase the legacies and deny the rich contributions U.S.women have made in tech, math, engineering, medicine, medical research, astronomy, chemistry….the list of fields shaped by our women is MILES long.

So, STEMinistas, here are places that DO value your work and WANT you. Know of more? Leave details in the comments, help a sister out ;)

AUSTRALIA 🇦🇺: Australia offers Innovation Visas because they recognize that “ Global competition for talent is intensifying. That is why Australia is working to attract the best and brightest to our shores to help grow a stronger economy.”

GERMANY 🇩🇪: Germany’s Opportunity Card allows skilled non-EU residents to enter the country to find jobs.

BRITISH COLUMBIA 🇨🇦: In March 2025, British Columbia’s health minister announced plans to fast track credentials for U.S. nurses and doctors.

As we discover more opportunities welcoming U.S. women in STEM, we’ll share them here or on Threadz.

The First Black Women in STEM in the National Inventors Hall of Fame

In 2022, Marian Croak and the late ophthalmologist Dr. Patricia Bath were inducted into the National Inventors of Hall of Fame. Almost 50 years after the founding of the NIHF, they were the first Black women to receive this honor. Almost 50 years. Introducing Marian Croak and Patricia Bath. Engineer Marian Croak has worked on advancing Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technologies, converting voice data into digital signals that can be easily transmitted over the internet rather than using traditional phone lines. Her work has furthered the capabilities of audio and video conferencing, making it a practical reality in today’s world. In 1982, Croak began her career at Bell Labs (later AT&T) with a position in the Human Factors research division, looking at how technology could be used to positively impact people’s lives. She subsequently went on to work on network engineering, where she contemplated the potential of digital telecommunications. Rather than use a traditional phon...

U.S. Women in STEM Manifesto

American women have contributed countless inventions and discoveries to the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics in the United States. You may know the stories of women like Dorothea Dix, Elizabeth Blackwell, and Grace Hopper. Join us and be inspired by women working in STEM today. They are being systematically erased from U.S. government websites. We won’t let them be lost. We are crowdsourcing - tell us your story! (Click the menu icon to send us a story.

Makes sense that the brains behind GPS is a woman right?

Who doesn’t rely on GPS these days? Three little letters that represent a very complex series of mathematical calculations. The foundation for today’s Global Positioning System was created by a pioneering Black mathematician, Dr. Gladys West. We are sharing the story of Dr. West not just because she’s a badass U.S. Woman in STEM. Dr. West was inducted into the U.S. Air Force Space and Missile Hall of Fame in 2018, because she did her pioneering GPS work while serving as a mathematician at the U.S. Naval Weapons Lab. She is one of only TWO women inducted into the SMPHF since it was founded in 1990. This, despite what we now know to be hundreds of women engineers, mathematicians and “computers” who powered much of NASA and NACA (National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics) work from the 1930s to the 1070s. So, introducing Dr. Gladys West, mathematician and mother of GPS. Dr. Gladys B. West was born in Sutherland, Virginia, in 1930. After graduating at the top of her high school class, s...
