Bioethics in Film: From Screen to Seminar - Picture a Scientist

Over the long history of science, women have rarely been recognized for their extraordinary contributions. Director Sharon Shattuck’s Tribecca Film Festival documentary "Picture a Scientist" and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author Kate Zernike’s recent book "The Exceptions" tell the stories of courageous women who fought for recognition and strove to change the power dynamics in academic science. Joining the filmmaker and author on the panel to share their real life experiences were Columbia University’s Gissette Reyes-Soffer, MD, Assistant Professor of Medicine and Mimi Shirasu-Hiza, PhD, Professor of Genetics and Development. This was a rich discussion about the past and current discrimination of women scientists in the field, and what kind of promise awaits for the future of women in STEM. This Bioethics in Film: From Screen to Seminar event was held in collaboration with the The Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) Program’s Grand Rounds in Team Science (GRiTS) series.
