BrainStorms@Técnico: "Does mental illness have a gender?"
About the event Several mental illnesses and disorders are believed to be more prevalent according to gender. How much of this prevalence is due to biological factors, and to potential biases in the studies that have mapped out these mental health problems? Our gender identity certainly affects our experience of society, and influences the type of challenges we face. Does gender play a role in health, when we walk into a doctor’s office and seek treatment?
WiP Viewing - "Picture A Scientist"
The Women in Physics Student Club invites you to watch the film “Picture A Scientist” with us, and to participate in a discussion about the film afterwards. There will be popcorn! The documentary “Picture A Scientist” follows a biologist, a chemist and a geologist as they overcome brutal harassment, institutional discrimination, and years of subtle slights to revolutionize the culture of science. From cramped laboratories to spectacular field stations, we also encounter scientific luminaries who provide new perspectives on how to make science itself more diverse, equitable, and open to all.
