Picture a Scientist Film Screening & Panel Discussion

PICTURE A SCIENTIST is a feature-length documentary film chronicling the groundswell of researchers who are writing a new chapter for women scientists. A biologist, a chemist and a geologist lead viewers on a journey deep into their own experiences in the sciences, overcoming brutal harassment, institutional discrimination, and years of subtle slights to revolutionize the culture of science. From cramped laboratories to spectacular field stations, we also encounter scientific luminaries who provide new perspectives on how to make science itself more diverse, equitable, and open to all.

Available on Netflix starting June 13!

June 9 Virtual Panel Discussion

In early June, LLF hosted a special virtual screening and panel discussion of the documentary film in partnership with the LLNL Women’s Association and the Laboratory’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion programs.
