The Women In Science Research Network was launched at the international Congress for the History of Science, Technology and Medicine in Manchester last week. The WISRNet has now launched a mailing list to bring together historians, archivists and practising scientists to discuss women’s participation in science institutions and learned societies in Britain since 1830. The mailing list will provide a forum to share ideas and circulate information about relevant projects, events, monographs, articles, websites, blogs etc. If you are keen to be involved, and would like to be kept up-to-date about the network, please sign up via www.jiscmail.ac.uk/WISRNET.
