Picture A Scientist - Panel Discussion Event

When you picture a scientist, who do you see? 

Join McGill’s scientific community in a panel discussion of the film “Picture A Scientist,” as we focus on perspective taking and discussion on making STEM diverse, equitable, inclusive, and just.

About the film:

An official selection at the 2020 Tribeca Film Festival, “Picture A Scientist” is a documentary that was created to raise visibility around the critical issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion in science and invite viewers into a deeper conversation about how to make science more inclusive.

“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… 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.” – https://www.pictureascientist.com/
