ABOUT THE FILM

SYNOPSIS

Biologist Nancy Hopkins, chemist Raychelle Burks, and geologist Jane Willenbring lead viewers on a journey deep into their own experiences as female scientists, ranging from brutal harassment to years of subtle slights. Along the way, encounter scientific luminaries who provide new perspectives on how to make science itself more diverse, equitable, and open to all. 

FEATURED SCIENTISTS

Nancy Hopkins is a molecular biologist and professor of biology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

As a science communicator, Burks has appeared on the Science Channel’s Outrageous Acts of Science, the American Chemical Society’s Reactions videos, Royal Society of Chemistry podcasts, and at genre conventions such as DragonCon and GeekGirlCon. Burks was awarded the 2020 American Chemical Society Grady-Stack award for excellence in public engagement.

Jane Willenbring is a geomorphologist and professor of geology at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, and director of the Scripps Cosmogenic Isotope Laboratory. Willenbring’s research examines the evolution of the Earth’s surface, especially how landscapes are affected by tectonics, climate change, and life on Earth.
