About Us

Mums in Science started in 2005 after its founder, Dr Shara Cohen, identified the need for STEM mums to be supported. In 2005 Dr Cohen had two young children and saw many of her women peers leaving science due to family constraints and lack of support.

So she established Mums in Science, an international network of people providing support, information and tools to manage a career while navigating the challenges of life including parenting.

In 2024, in recognition of her commitment to women in STEM plus her other work Shara received the British Empire Medal in the New Years Honours List.

Mums in Science is an inclusive company and our talks are attended by people around the world, in all different walks of life. We do not restrict our events to poeple working in STEM or by gender. Everyone is welcome
