Yesterday, AquaDiva hosted the screening of the movie "Picture a Scientist" from Ian Cheney and Sharon Shattuck. 

The movie chronicles the academic career of three famous female scientists, the biologist Nancy Hopkins, the chemist Raychelle Burks, and the geologist Jane Willenbring. It pictures the hurdles and harassment they faced along their way. New perspectives how to make science more diverse, eqitable, and open are shown.

The movie was reflected afterwards in a productive discussion.
