A new film by Sharon Shattuck and Ian Cheney chronicles the lives of women in science, examining the biases they have faced throughout their careers. “Picture a Scientist” follows the experiences of a biologist, a chemist and a geologist who overcame harassment, institutional discrimination and years of subtle slights to revolutionize the culture of science. 

The documentary is available to view as part of the CWC Docs series presented by UC Santa Barbara’s Carsey-Wolf Center.
