Abstract

The founders of The Bearded Lady Project: Challenging the Face of Science, Lexi Jamieson Marsh (director), Kelsey Vance (photographer), and Dr. Ellen Currano (lead subject), discuss how the collaboration between the arts and science creates a welcome environment to provoke important discussions on gender stereotypes in paleontology. We will start the presentation by premiering the latest trailer from our documentary film.
