Happy PRIDE Month

Embrace Diversity, Ignite Discovery

At SLS Select Education, we believe in supporting and uplifting the communities we serve. Therefore, we are thrilled to announce that we are making a £100 donation to the Notts LGBT+ Network, an organisation dedicated to supporting Nottinghamshire's vibrant LGBTQ+ community.

Join us in celebrating LGBTQ+ scientists, promoting diversity, and embracing the power of scientific discovery!

In recognition of the vital role played by the LGBTQ+ community in driving scientific advancements, we would like to highlight four exceptional scientists who have made significant contributions to their respective fields.

Alan Turing: As a brilliant mathematician and computer scientist, Turing played a pivotal role in breaking the Enigma code during World War II. His work laid the foundation for modern computing and artificial intelligence. 

Sally Ride: Ride made history as the first American woman in space. Her achievements as an astronaut and physicist inspired generations and shattered gender barriers in STEM fields.

Dr. Jack Drescher: A renowned psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, Dr. Drescher has been a leading advocate for LGBTQ+ mental health. His research and activism have greatly contributed to understanding and supporting the well-being of the LGBTQ+ community.

Dr. William Moerner and Dr. Stefan Hell: These exceptional chemists received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their groundbreaking work on super-resolution microscopy, enabling scientists to see the inner workings of cells with unprecedented clarity.
