We are thrilled to be able to offer you an exclusive opportunity to view the groundbreaking documentary film Picture a Scientist in your own home, and to engage in a powerful discussion about Title IX with some of the country’s leading experts.

 Picture a Scientist, an official selection of the 2020 Tribeca Film Festival, 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.

Through this exclusive arrangement, you can stream the film in the comfort of your own home any time during the screening period, which runs December 2-9. Then, on December 9 at 7:00 PM EST, join us for a live panel discussion on the history, present-day challenges, and future opportunities surrounding Title IX in the U.S. academic research enterprise. More details on this engaging panel will be announced soon.

 Access to the film through this special offer is sponsored by AAAS and is completely free to AAAS members; it is not available to the general public. To reserve your space in the virtual screening room, register by November 24. You will then receive customized links to access the screening room and panel discussion closer to the event date.


Due to the film’s mature themes and the use of adult language, viewer discretion is advised.
