SFU Faculty of Science

PICTURE A SCIENTIST chronicles the groundswell of researchers who are writing a new chapter for women scientists.

PICTURE A SCIENTIST is a ground breaking documentary film that chronicles the rise of researchers who are writing a new chapter for women scientists and provides new perspectives on how to make science itself more diverse, equitable, and open to all. Featuring geologist Jane Willenbring, chemist Raychelle Burks, and biologist Nancy Hopkins and key social scientists working to understand and reduce gender bias in the sciences, Picture a Scientist brings diversity issues into sharp focus.The film provides an excellent opportunity to prompt conversations around a number of themes related to EDI.
