Frequently Asked Questions
Who can join the directory?
Our directory is intended for scientists in the fields of physics and astronomy that have completed at least a bachelor’s degree; for example, graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, university faculty, staff scientists, and others in relevant careers. We welcome all women and marginalized gender identities. Our community is currently focused on those working and studying in the United States as well as U.S. scientists working and studying abroad.
If joining the directory is not for you, we encourage your continued engagement with 1400 Degrees. Use the directory to learn about and connect with exceptional scientists; peruse the Insights section for interviews, perspectives, science news and resources; and join our email list for updates.
