Picture a Scientist...
Or an artist, a researcher, a writer, a performer, an instructor, a consultant, a professor, an administrator or....
From brutal harassment and institutional discrimination to subtle slights and isolation, this award-winning documentary follows three women through their experiences in science. None of these experiences is unique to science, however, and viewers from every academic field are likely to find countless moments of recognition and resonance.
Also featured are academic luminaries who provide new perspectives on how to make science — and other disciplines — more diverse, equitable and open to all.
