The chemist Raychelle Burks is one of the protagonists.
Who actually does science? Why is it that many automatically still think about a male scientist? In the documentary “Picture a Scientist” a biologist, a chemist and a geologist take you on a journey through the experiences of their academic career. The exclusive online screening on Wednesday, 28 April 2021, at 7 pm is part of the Women’s Career Day 2021.
The documentary gives a hopeful outlook as it tells a story of solidarity and activism. It is a story about brave female leaders in science who stand up against injustice and manage to spark a global discourse on advancing equality in science. It is intended as an inspirational complement to the Women's Career Day 2021 workshops, the goal of which is to provide young women scientists with knowledge in various areas of career management while raising awareness for gender equality issues that a career in science may entail.
