About us
Founded and powered by 500 Women Scientists, gage is a global search platform where journalists, media outlets, conference planners and others seeking brilliant voices in science can discover women and gender diverse folks in STEMM.
Our Mission

Our mission is to serve society by making science open, inclusive, and accessible.

Mission

With a nod to the “Matilda Effect”, gage was created to ensure the contributions of women and gender diverse folks are acknowledged and rewarded. The gage search platform is the world’s first and largest directory of women and gender diverse experts in STEMM, and serves as a valuable resource for people seeking the expertise of underrepresented voices in these professions.
