When the documentary "Picture a Scientist" was released in 2020, it opened viewers’ eyes to the experiences of women working in STEM careers.

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.
