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.

After the screening, join author and MIT Amgen Professor of Biology Emerita Nancy Hopkins; Harvard Law Professor and Judge Nancy Gertner (Ret.); and Dr. Sangeeta N. Bhatia, John J. and Dorothy Wilson Professor of Health Sciences and Technology and of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at MIT; for a conversation moderated by MIT Press Director and Publisher and Picture a Scientist Executive Producer Amy Brand.
