+I've always wanted to understand the world, and my study of brain development during childhood and adolescence allows me to answer questions about how the biology underpinning all the complexities of the human mind. I've met challenges along the way - particularly with respect to my experiences as a young woman in science - and I have been surprised at the misogyny and sexism that I have have encountered in my day to day work. I am in the early stages of developing a mobile app to address the problem that women in STEMM (Science, Techonology, Engineering, Maths and Medicine) are less likely to be invited to speak at conferences. Our solution is to provide a searchable database of women in all areas of STEMM with testimonials to ensure that event organisers have confidence that speakers they may not have heard present before come highly recommended. The STEMM Role Models app was runner up in the Rosalind Franklin appathon in February 2016, and I would greatly benefit from the opportunity to learn from women techmakers, get feedback on my ideas and hopefully build some productive collaborations at this event. More details of the app are available at our GitHub repository: www.github.com/KirstieJane/STEMMRoleModels.

+## Share your thoughts
+
+Although GitHub calls them **issues**, we'd like you to think of them as **conversation starters**. They're our way of communicating across all the members of the team (and if you're here you are a member of the STEMM Role Models team). The can be [questions][link_question], [bugs][link_bugs], [requests][link_requests], [applications][link_applications] or a myriad of other suggestions.
+
+### Labels
+
+You can find all currently open conversations under the [issues tab][link_issues].
+
+The current list of labels are [here][link_labels] and include:
+
+* [Question][link_question]: This label highlights all issues that are questions and is a great place to start. Whomever has opened the issue wants to hear from you! 
+  * To reply, read the question and then put your opinions in a comment.
+  * These opinions can be:
+    * a thumbs up (:thumbsup:) if you're loving what you see (check out this [cheat sheet][link_emojis] for other emojis that you might like)
+    * a more nuanced description of your answer (using your words)
+    * or you could ask for a clarification
+  * If you'd like to posit an additional question take a breath and make sure that your question is related (could it be a new issue instead?) and if you're confident you're in the right place, then ask away :smiley:
+
+* [Applications][link_applications]: This label highlights all issues concerning applications.
+  * Applications can include suggestions for future applications or a to do list for ongoing applications
+  * The label is intentionally broad: applications can be for anything from funding or membership of workshops etc
+
+* [No Code][link_nocode]: This label highlights all issues that don't require any coding knowledge
+  * If you're looking to contribute but aren't very confident in your coding skills these issues are a great place to start.
+  * All issues with the no code label are asking for feedback or suggestions
+
+* [Help Wanted][link_helpwanted]: This label highlights all issues where a member of the team has determined that we need additional help
+  * If you have particular skills these are a great place to offer them
+  * If you aren't sure what to offer, you could also recommend issues to your friends/colleagues who may be able to help
+
+* [Bugs][link_bugs]: this label highlights all issues that are pointing to problems in the project
+  * If you find a bug, please give as much detail as possible in your issue
+  * If you experience the same bug as one already listed, please add any additional information that you have as a comment
+
+* [Requests][link_requests]: this label highlights all issues that are asking for features (or anything else) to be added to the project
+  * If you have a good idea and would like to see it implemented in the STEMM Role Models project please open a new issue and add in as much detail as possible
+  * Please try to make sure that your feature is distinct from any others that have already been requested or implemented. If you find one that's similar but there are subtle differences please reference the other request in your issue

 ## How to get in touch
 
 If you have a question we'd love for you to open an issue because that will be our fastest way of communicating and making a change. But if you'd like to email the development team you can contact [KirstieJane](https://github.com/KirstieJane) at kw401 AT cam DOT ac DOT uk. She's a postdoc who isn't currently paid to develop this app, so please be gentle in your correspondence and give her a couple of days to reply. If she doesn't reply to your email before or during her regular "office hours" on Monday afternoons please feel free to ping her again.

 The development of this app is mentored by the team behind the [Rosalind Franklin Appathon][link_rfappapthon] - a challenge launched in 2015 to find and support the development of new mobile phone apps to empower women in STEMM. The competition is funded by the [Royal Society's Rosalind Franklin award][link_royalsociety_rfaward] which was won in 2014 by the Prof [Rachel McKendry][link_rachelmckendry].
