- Geek Feminism has a list of clean-up tasks they need help with on their very useful wiki.
- Under the Microscope highlights two deadlines coming up this month for seminar and fellowship opportunities for women in science.
- Also coming up is the deadline to apply for PITCH, a startup incubator directed at projects with at least one woman co-founder; thanks to a sponsorship, they’re offering 100 application spots for free, so there’s nothing to lose!
