Panel discussion: Thursday, 11 November 2021, 13-14h with zoom
Film Screening: available for individual online screening from Sat, 6.11.21. to Fri, 12.11.21.
Important: Please note that you are required to watch the film “Picture a scientist” before the panel discussion. The individual online screening is available from 6 to 12 November 2021 - please register here
The film “Picture a scientist” 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 obvious 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.
In the panel discussion, the panellists will share their views on discrimination and discuss how science can become a more diverse and welcoming place for everybody.
