LGBT Switchboard

Switchboard is an LGBT+ helpline – a place for calm words when you need them most. They’re here to help you with whatever you want to talk about. Nothing is off limits and conversations are 100% confidential.

International Society of Nonbinary Scientists

ISNBS is an international community of nonbinary scientists. We come from the far reaches of the physical and social sciences. Some of us study desert birds. Others study immuno-oncology. Some of us write about science, or teach it. 

The group was established in 2020 to combat the isolation of being the “only ones” at our institutions, inspired by Dr. Sekazi Mtingwa and the National Society of Black Physicists.
