Do you want to know what it’s like to be a woman field scientist? Join us for a pizza party and a showing of The Bearded Lady Project film, which celebrates the work of female paleontologists and highlights the obstacles and challenges they face. After the film, a panel of scientists will answer hard-hitting and hard-to-ask questions and discuss what it’s really like to work in their various fields of science. Everyone is welcome.
ABOUT THE FILM
The Bearded Lady Project: Challenging the Face of Science is a short documentary film that demonstrates the competencies and passions of female paleontologists and how an unfair, gendered stereotype can be easily diminished with the donning of a beard. With insights into the benefits of scientific careers for women, a glimpse at professional role models, and a positive dose of wit, the Bearded Lady Project is invested in changing the face of science, and encouraging a new generation of women to focus on a career in this field of study. Runtime: 22 minutes
