Bilim Kadınları started with a single tweet asking for more information about Turkish women of science. A group was formed and they aim to increase the visibility of Turkish female scientists through interviews and articles on their Medium blog. They also manage an active list of Turkish women in STEM, and have created a poster set of 5 Turkish women in science.
