Picture a Scientist – Film Viewing Available
2021-04-16 00:00 - 2021-04-18 23:30 (America/New_York) | Online
From April 16-18, the Cornell community is invited to screen the award-winning documentary film, Picture a Scientist, chronicling the groundswell of researchers writing a new chapter for women scientists. Biologist Nancy Hopkins, chemist Raychelle Burks, and geologist Jane Willenbring lead viewers on a journey deep into their own experiences in the sciences, ranging from brutal harassment to years of subtle slights. Along the way, from cramped laboratories to spectacular field stations, we encounter scientific luminaries – including social scientists, neuroscientists, and psychologists – who provide new perspectives on how to make science itself more diverse, equitable, and open to all.
The film is available for virtual screening from April 16-18. On Monday, April 19, 2021 from 3:30-5:00pm ET, a related panel discussion will be held featuring faculty and staff who will discuss bias and harassment in academic environments, and strategies for driving positive systemic and structural change within and beyond Cornell.
This public event is open to all and registration is required. Real-time captioning will be provided for the panel discussion.

Job Search Virtual Monthly Discussion

The Job Search Virtual Monthly Discussion is designed to get job seekers together to talk about concerns that graduate students and postdocs share, and strategize about how to move forward. Each session will begin with a brief introduction that includes tips, perspectives, and thoughts from staff who support career exploration within and beyond academia. After this information is shared, participants will have the opportunity to ask questions they have and share best practices that work for them. We want to create a safe space for everyone to talk and listen. Please come join us and hear from each other!
