The MIT CSAIL Postdoc and Graduate Student Council is pleased to invite you to attend our virtual screening of the movie Picture a Scientist about the challenges faced by women navigating science and academia.  Picture a Scientist follows three researchers, biologist Nancy Hopkins, chemist Raychelle Burks, and geologist Jane Willenbring, exploring their experiences in the sciences that range from brutal harassment to years of subtle slights. We encourage you to check out the film website (https://www.pictureascientist.com/) and the film trailer (https://www.pictureascientist.com/media) to learn more!

Following our virtual screening, we will hold a panel discussion to delve into questions about the challenges that women face in science today, particularly in our own academic communities at MIT. Our five panelists are brilliant researchers who, among other numerous accomplishments, have all contributed to writing reports that document the inequities of women at MIT:


  *   Karen Sollins- Principal Research Scientist, CSAIL, co-author of the report, “Barriers to Equality in Academia: Women in Computer Science at MIT” (1983)
  *   Kimberle Koile- Principal Lecturer, Research Scientist, CSAIL, co-author of the report, “Barriers to Equality in Academia: Women in Computer Science at MIT” (1983)
  *   Nancy Hopkins- Professor, Department of Biology, co-author of the report, “A Study on the Status of Women Faculty in Science at MIT ” (1999)
  *   Serena Booth- PhD student, CSAIL, co-author of the report, “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the CSAIL Community” (2019)
  *   Gateeka Chahuan - PhD student, CSAIL, co-author of the report, “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the CSAIL Community” (2019)
