When You Picture A Scientist, Who Do You See? Film Screening and Panel

  • Sonoma State University 1801 E Cotati Ave Rohnert Park, CA, 94928 United States (map)

 Screening - 4 PM, Panel - 6 PM

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.”
