There are an increasing number of Women* in all branches of the study of invertebrates including amateurs, lecturers, researchers, students, professional ecologists, museum curators and those running recording schemes. Our aim as WIN is very much to create an inclusive and supportive network to exchange thoughts and experiences across the breadth of our fields of study to encourage people to progress. We are an informal Network, there is no joining fee or committee structure, all voices are important. We have a WhatsApp group and aim to meet annually. So….
