In collaboration with BIFF we will screen the award-winning documentary Picture a Scientist by Ian Cheney and Sharon Shattuck. The film will be available 'on demand'.

About Picture a Scientist
This documentary 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 film, Dr Dorothy J. Dankel (UiB) discuss gender equality and discrimination in academia with UiB Rector Margareth Hagen, OsloMet Rector Curt Rice (Chair of Norway’s Committee on Gender Equality and Diversity in Research), the film's co-director Sharon Shattuc, producer Manette Pottle and Dr Jane Willenbring, one of the scientists featured in the documentary.
