Together, we make sense of a messy world. 👥

Every day, we support people who come to Those Nerdy Girls because they want science and health information they can actually use. This year, your questions, shares, and generosity helped us reach more people than ever — especially those who rely on accessible, judgment-free science communication.

Thanks to your partnership:

200,000+ people follow TNG across platforms — a community built on curiosity and care.
4.5 million Facebook views brought practical health guidance to those who needed it most.
300+ new explainers broke down vaccines, reproductive health, mental health, and everyday science questions.
Tens of thousands now rely on our Substack for trustworthy, plain-language health updates.
We invested in video and storytelling because you told us these formats help you learn and share.

We’re finding our way through confusing times — together.

Why This Work Matters

Those Nerdy Girls formed in a moment of crisis and never stopped showing up for people trying to navigate overwhelming health information. Today, our mission remains the same:

We empower people to make evidence-informed decisions — without jargon, judgment, or barriers.

We are a team of women and non-binary scientists, clinicians, and educators with expertise across epidemiology, mental health, reproductive health, statistics, evidence-based medicine, nursing, behavioral science, and more.

We translate the science.
We separate fact from fiction.
We help you understand what it means for your life and your family.

Because understanding shouldn’t be a privilege. Science belongs to everyone.

⭐ What you helped readers say this year

“As things constantly change, TNG has been a steady place I trust to help me understand what’s safe and what’s accurate.” — Toshi, California

“Your trusted state-of-the-art science knowledge, always imparted with social, cultural, and population-based sensitivity, is so valued by readers.” — Laurie, Connecticut

“Clear explanations and objective science are increasingly needed these days…” — Thomas, Quebec

These voices are why we do this work — and why your support matters.

Finding our way, together starts with you.

To keep TNG’s health information free, accessible, practical, and human, we’re need to raise $10,000 for Giving Tuesday.

Your gift helps us:

Publish 3+ evidence-informed explainers every week.
Compensate volunteer scientists who dedicate hours to answering your questions.
Expand our reach to communities who need reliable health information most.
Keep content free — no paywalls, no barriers.

Every single donation — $5, $25, or $250 — keeps trusted health information flowing when people need it most.

You help make science accessible for everyone.

Thank you for helping us find our way, together.

Your support this year has meant everything. Your generosity fuels clarity, compassion, and accessible science for all.

We’re so grateful you’re here with us — and we’re excited for what we can build together.

🧡 Thank you.
