LOCOTACT Event – Panel Discussion on the movie Picture a Scientist

The fact that discrimination against female scientists is certainly not an outdated problem, but a highly relevant topic, could be experienced by all participants of the panel discussion on September 22.

Inspired by the content of the film Picture A Scientist and moderated by Dr. Christina Alstötter-Gleich, the panel guests Prof. Britta Siegmund, Prof. Nicole Krämer, Prof. Karen Shire and Prof. Dagmar Führer-Sakel discussed their impressions of the film, their own experiences in their professional careers and everyday work, as well as cultural and structural differences between Germany, Europe and North America. The panel guests were in agreement that it is important to be a good example, to strengthen and support young female colleagues and, above all, to advocate for equal treatment in decision-making committees.

LOCOTACT would like to thank all panelists for the great contributions and inspirations that were shared with the audience, as well as the openness to talk about very personal experiences and looks back on a successful evening. Thank you!
