Picture a Scientist

CEGSA, U of T GradSWE and BioZone student groups will be hosting their first cross-departmental virtual event of 2021, a screening of Picture a Scientist, a documentary following three women scientists and the challenges they have had to overcome to pursue their careers in academia (trailer, website). We hope this film will help highlight the issues that affect women in Academia and STEM including the ‘Leaky Pipeline’ effect. Following the screening, we will be holding a panel with several current and previous members of the U of T community in order to continue the discussion about women in STEM.

The virtual screening of Picture a Scientist will be open from Feb. 5-10th, 2021. Everyone who registers will receive an access code to watch the film when convenient during that time frame. The panel discussion will be held on Feb. 11th, 2021 from 5:00-6:30 pm, details for accessing the virtual event will be sent out closer to the date.

We ask that you register for the events (feel free to attend both or just one) through the linked registration form by Feb. 1st, 2021 at 5 pm so that we can ensure you get streaming access to the film.
