Making Change Together
From the moment we were founded in 1817, collective action was always central to our mission. We knew then, just as we know now, that when STEM professionals work together, across fields, industries, and generations, we arrive at better solutions to the challenges our society faces. That's why this month, we're focusing on making change together.
Share your stories of collective action and collaboration this month.
As a reminder, here are some hashtags you can include in your posts:
- #IAmNYAS - When sharing your own or other Academy Members' stories.
- #Imagine300 - For posts focused on the future of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics)
- #STEMRoleModels or #ScienceHeroes - For mentors, role models, leaders in their field (past and present), and people of all ages doing inspiring work in STEM.
- #FutureofSTEM - For posts focused on young people in STEM.

Post 1 - #STEMCollabs Instructions: Give an example of something that you've accomplished that you could never have done alone. Example: In 2013, I was part of a team that devised a novel solar array. We each brought very different skills to the project, and together, we were able to win an award for our work. #STEMCollabs #IAmNYAS | Include a photo of yourself with your collaborator(s) and/or of your accomplishment. |
Post 2 - Resume Real Talk Suggested Post: Ever wondered what the story is behind the impressive resumes you see on LinkedIn? @NYASciences is holding a panel examining the reality behind those tidy lists of accomplishments. Low-cost webinar also available. http://bit.nyas.org/2EYMbON #STEMjobs #FutureofSTEM |
