NEW YORK, Aug 19 - Fed up with being overlooked as a female scientist despite wading through mud carting heavy equipment and working twice as hard as her male colleagues, Dr. Ellen Currano is on a drive for change - by donning a beard.
She confided in her filmmaker friend Lexi Jamieson Marsh that she was tired of feeling invisible and seeing male scientists were always interviewed on television when an expert was needed. In the series a bearded Currano stands on a mountain, a tool belt around her waist and pick-axe in hand as she excavates fossil leaves to examine them for bug bites to see how plant-insect interactions change as the earth cools and warms.
The first feature-length documentary will hold its premiere this week at the University of California at Berkeley where the photography exhibit will also be on display until September with all proceeds going to a fund for future female paleontologists.
