SCREENING: 'Picture a Scientist' Screening

UWA staff and students are invited to attend the screening of the “Picture a Scientist” Documentary Film on Monday 30th November.

This powerful film explores issues relating to research misconduct, harassment and unconscious bias in the Higher Education sector.

The film is a must see for UWA staff as we strive to live our UWA values of equity and merit as the fundamental principles to enable the full potential of all staff and students and to encourage openness, honesty, tolerance, trust and responsibility in social, ethical and academic matters.

The movie was lauded at the 2020 Tribeca film festival and was labelled “Sweeping in scope yet intimately compelling” by Science Magazine, for more see the trailer.

Please note: If you can’t make the screening, you can stream it on your own device for a 3-day period, starting 30th November, but you must register to get the link.

On Friday 4th December, registrants are also invited to attend a zoom panel of UWA staff who will discuss issues raised in the film and how UWA is changing culture through the Athena Swan Bronze award. There is also the opportunity for any Q&A’s you may have on the topic.
