‘Picture a Scientist’ film screening and discussion

Picture A Scientists Physics and Astronomy (PHAS) Department Event

Monday, January 25th 4:00-5:45pm on Zoom

This PHAS event is co-sponsored by Physicists from Underrepresented Genders (PUGs) and DiversiTea, a sub-team of the PHAS Inclusion Diversity Equity Alliance (IDEA) Team.

Movie Description: Picture a Scientist shows many of the challenges that women in STEM fields have experienced by following the journey’s of three women: biologist Nancy Hopkins, chemist Raychelle Burks, and geologist Jane Willenbring. Additionally comments from social scientists, neuroscientists, and psychologists provide new perspectives on how to make science itself more diverse, equitable, and open to all. The ability to view this movie is being co-sponsored by the STEM Board and the International Film Forum.
