When the documentary "Picture a Scientist" was released in 2020, it opened viewers’ eyes to the experiences of women working in STEM careers. This film focuses on discrimination against women in science, their stories of bravery, and hope for the future. It is an unflinching look at the barriers that confront these researchers, and an inspiring story of fortitude. The Nat and the National Marine Mammal Foundation are hosting a discussion on representation in the STEM fields in our own region. The watch-and-talk program will feature conversations with local women in STEM, interspersed with clips from Picture a Scientist. Please join us at The Nat to see clips from the documentary and listen to conversations on the current state—and the future—of our scientific community.
