PICTURE A SCIENTIST is a recently released documentary that chronicles the groundswell of researchers who are writing a new chapter for women scientists. Biologist Nancy Hopkins, chemist Raychelle Burks, and geologist Jane Willenbring lead viewers on a journey deep into their own experiences in the sciences, ranging from brutal harassment to years of subtle slights. Along the way, from cramped laboratories to spectacular field stations, we encounter scientific luminaries - including social scientists, neuroscientists, and psychologists - who provide new perspectives on how to make science itself more diverse, equitable, and open to all.
We invite all SIO students, faculty, and staff to join us in a remote viewing of the documentary Oct. 6-8. Please RSVP here to receive a custom link and password to view the documentary anytime during the 48 hour screening period.
