Picture a Scientist: Documentary screening National Academy of Sciences is previewing this film for free. Register by noon 22 September. Characterised by Science Magazine as "sweeping in scope yet intimately compelling," the film leads viewers on a journey deep into the very personal experiences of female researchers who have confronted a range of challenges from brutal harassment to years of subtle slights. In cramped laboratories and spectacular field stations, we meet scientific luminaries who provide new perspectives on how to make science itself more diverse, equitable, and open to all. Followed by panel discussion. Find out more and register on Eventbrite.
