Calling Out Harassment In The Sciences

What a courageous woman who PERSISTED!

Great video (less than 4min), but also a transcript:

A 'Brief But Spectacular' take on making science more diverse, equitable and open to all.

I highly recommend you watch the movie Picture a Scientist, if you have not already done so. As a mid-career scientist myself, I can attest that all of these things are still happening today to women STEM professional. The sexual harassment that Dr. Willenbring endured is not as common, but the many micro aggressions are still prevalent.
