'Picture a Scientist' - National Film Screening & Panel Discussion

Picture a Scientist. What did you imagine?

Join the Queensland University of Technology for a screening of 'Picture a Scientist' followed by a live-streamed panel discussion from the University of Sydney. 

‘Picture a Scientist’ is a feature-length documentary film chronicling the groundswell of researchers who are writing a new chapter for women scientists. A biologist, a chemist, and a geologist lead viewers on a journey deep into their own experiences in the sciences – overcoming brutal harassment, institutional discrimination, and years of subtle slights – to revolutionise the culture of science. 

The panel will explore new perspectives on how to make science more diverse, equitable, and open to all.

The film will be simultaneously screened at multiple locations around Australia. For more information on the other screening locations in Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney and Canberra see the links below.
