A geologist's Brief But Spectacular take on calling out harassment and sexism in science

Jane Willenbring is a geologist who solves problems related to the earth’s surface. In 2020, she was featured in a NOVA documentary called “Picture a Scientist.” She and two other women shared their experiences in the sciences, ranging from brutal harassment to years of subtle slights. Tonight, she gives her Brief But Spectacular take on making science more diverse, equitable and open to all.
