LGBTQ+ people are often recognized for work in the arts and humanities, but we work in all fields – including STEM! This exhibit celebrates the incredible contributions made by scientists, inventors, engineers, and mathematicians of every gender and sexual orientation.
This exhibit picks out lesser-known individuals to highlight the diversity of people in different STEM fields and their diverse personal backgrounds and identities. Many struggled against prejudice, even as they broke new ground and revolutionized our understanding of the world. The indelible marks from this vibrant spectrum of LGBTQ+ STEM professionals is a testament to the power of inclusion.
Each profile is meant to inspire curiosity about their discoveries and inventions, their areas of study, and the context of all that came before them.
