CineScience movie talk: Hidden Figures

With their movie talk Kevin Matson, Ingrid Luijkx and Diana Machado de Sousa, on behalf of the Wageningen Young Academy, want to focus on the historical and present day position and role of women and other persons excluded because of their ethnicity or race in science and technology. ‘Hidden figures’ follows three talented female African-American mathematicians who played an important part in the US space program at NASA in the 1960s. After the movie you are invited to reflect on the importance of diversity and inclusivity of gender and race in science and why or how this could be promoted.
