Filmmaker Sharon Shattuck talks about her documentary Picture a Scientist and the importance of diversity in STEM. "When used in the classroom, Picture a Scientist can spark conversations... “Talking about gender bias can be really difficult and awkward,” Shattuck explained. People are often reluctant to discuss the topic, especially when it comes to considering their own implicit biases.
But Picture a Scientist brings these issues to the forefront to make it easier to speak candidly about the effects of discrimination in the classroom and the lab – and, according Shattuck, “to talk about how to change the culture.'"
There is also a K-12 version of Picture a Scientist.
