Join us in screening Picture a Scientist as part of the annual Women Take The Reel Film Festival. 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 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.
The screening will take place on March 29th, 2022 at 6:30 PM followed by Q&A. This event is free and open to the public. Masks and vaccinations are required for all event attendees and presenters.
Any visitor who does not have an MIT Kerberos account may use a Tim Ticket QR code to check in to an event that has been registered in MIT’s Tim Tickets system. We will send you the link to Tim Ticket via the email you provide.
This screening is co-sponsored by the following offices and departments at MIT: Institute Community & Equity Office, School of Humanities, Arts & Social Sciences, Physics Department, Mathematics Department, and Brain & Cognitive Sciences Department.
