Picture a Scientist:
The documentary takes the viewers on a journey that three women scientists experienced, from harassment to years of subtle slights.
This movie is now available to UTHealth employees through Panopto. We hope this will provide a platform for discussion and positive changes to make science more diverse, equitable, and open to all.
