MC Women in STEM Display

A new display in Hewes Library features Monmouth College women in STEM. Several Monmouth faculty and students are featured, highlighting their research interests and related materials from the library's collection.

As part of Women's History Month (March) all are invited to visit the display on the east side of the main level of the library.

Also of related interest is the streaming film, Picture a Scientist, a 2020 documentary available to the Monmouth College community through the streaming film database "Academic Video Online".

The film chronicles "the groundswell of researchers who are writing a new chapter for women scientists. A biologist, a chemist and a geologist lead viewers on a journey deep into their own experiences in the sciences, overcoming brutal harassment, institutional discrimination, and years of subtle slights to revolutionize the culture of science. From cramped laboratories to spectacular field sites, we also encounter scientific luminaries who provide new perspectives on how to make science itself more diverse, equitable, and open to all.“
