| Abstract: | PICTURE a Scientist (2020), a film by Sharon Shattuck & Ian Cheney, documents the upsurge of researchers advocating for women scientists. In this film, biologist Nancy Hopkins, chemist Raychelle Burks, and geologist Jane Willenbring guide viewers through their own life stories and experiences in research and academia. Their narratives range from harassment to more or less subtle slights; from cramped laboratories to fieldwork with jaw-dropping Antarctica back drops tainted by (equally jaw-drop ping, for different reasons, of course) sexist behaviour. In a nutshell, the film is a critical encounter with social scientists, neuroscientists, and psychologists, illuminating how research and academia can fall short of being equitable and meritocratic. |
