About Erin Donnelly and the Science Cheerleaders:
A
representative from Science Cheerleaders will be present to discuss
the movie and answer questions regarding young women in advanced
science fields. Science Cheerleader was founded by former Philadelphia
76ers cheerleader Darlene
Cavalier to get a conversation going, rally the troops, solicit views
from all sides and change the tone of science and science policy in
this country. The Science Cheerleaders are professional cheerleaders
pursuing science careers who playfully challenge stereotypes, turn
everyone onto science by encouraging participation in citizen science activities,
and inspire young women (including 3-4 million U.S. cheerleaders) to
consider careers in science, technology, engineering and math. We do
this by recasting the image of scientists and engineers while giving
people the opportunity to explore their personal interests as a gateway
to science. We communicate in ways that inspire people using our very
real, very personal stories. We do this at schools,
festivals, malls, on tv, online, at cheer events, games,
bars…wherever the people are! The point: science is accessible to ALL!
More than 200 current and former professional cheerleaders from the
NFL, NBA, and other pro sports leagues, pursing science and engineering
careers make up the Science Cheerleaders. Learn more about them here. Thousands
of college, high school and middle school cheerleaders–with interests
in science and engineering–are poised to join our mission. For more
