SCREENING: Virtual Screening of 'Picture a Scientist'

UWA staff and HDR students are invited to stream “Picture a Scientist” Documentary Film for 3 days commencing Monday 30th November from 1pm.

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: you will be sent a link on how to access the film 24 hours prior to the start.

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.
