PICTURE A SCIENTIST chronicles the groundswell of researchers who are writing a new chapter for women scientists. Biologist Nancy Hopkins, chemist Raychelle Burks, and geologist Jane Willenbring lead viewers on a journey deep into their own experiences in the sciences, ranging from brutal harassment to years of subtle slights. Along the way, from cramped laboratories to spectacular field stations, we encounter scientific luminaries – including social scientists, neuroscientists, and psychologists – who provide new perspectives on how to make science itself more diverse, equitable, and open to all.

To celebrate International Women’s Day, we will be hosting an exciting online talk on: Who is this Mr Noether? On the interdisciplinary (in)visualisation of female scientists

Women were excluded from science for decades. Many of them only managed to study through detours and only achieved a doctorate with support. In scientific discourse, their theories are often ignored or mentioned as a side note. Yet female scientists, whether in the natural sciences or the humanities, have made great achievements since ancient times. The talk will look at different personalities and the obstacles they have faced and raise the question of whether interdisciplinary collaboration would have made the paths of many brilliant women easier and how we can promote solidarity among female scientists from all disciplines in the future – to make the paths into science better for women.

The talk will be given by Prof Carla Schriever, Professor for Social Work at the International University of Lübeck, whose research focuses on social inequality, gender and science history. She is also the author of the book „Vordenkerinnen: Physikerinnen und Philosophinnen durch die Jahrhunderte“.

Registration necessary.
