Picture a Scientist Film Screening and Panel

Join the Office of Research and The Women’s Place for a free screening and panel discussion on the film Picture a Scientist.

The film 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 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.

Following the film screening, we will host a university-wide panel to explore the themes in the film and discuss ways we can collaboratively address these important issues at Ohio State. Viewers of all genders are encouraged to attend.
