In mid April, the Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) committee of the ISB hosted a screening of the film Picture a Scientist. Sponsored by the Executive Committee, this 90 minute film is an acclaimed documentary that addresses systemic gender bias and racism in the world of science. This workshop will be of great interest to those who were able to view the film, as well as those with an interest in EDI issues.

Our Senior Biocurator, Yasmin Alam-Faruque, will be speaking on a panel about Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI).

Chair: Sushma Naithani – Associate Professor Senior Research & lead biocurator Plant Reactome, Oregon State University
