If you immediately think of white lab coats, bubbling flasks of mysterious green fluids, and socially inept geeks every time someone mentions the word "scientist," you are not alone. According to a
survey, about 70% of 11 - 15 year olds in London thought that scientists were not "normal young and attractive men and women" and they always "wear big glasses." OK, so I do wear glasses, but in my defense, they're not big. I'd say they're pretty stylish. But that's just my opinion. To see if the "scientist" stereotype holds up, I'm going to put out out my own little survey. Here are some of the people that I've met in the UK. Some are scientists and some are not. Can you tell if the people in each photo are scientists or not? (Hint: Unless I say otherwise, ALL of the people listed/named for each photo will be scientists or they ALL won't be)
I'll even give you two freebies:
1) Not scientists.
2) Definitely a scientist.
3) Adam and Chris
4) Cristina, Vera, Vicki
5) Anna and Claire
6) Stephanie
7) Mark
8) Dave
9) Francesca, Sonya, Kelly
10) Antonis
11) Geoff and David (one is a scientist one is not).
Good luck!
