Allie Wilkinson, freelance science writer and founder of the website This Is What a Scientist Looks Like discusses her work at New England Aquarium. When children are asked to draw a scientist, they typically draw a white man with glasses wearing a lab coat. And when Americans were asked to name a living scientist in a recent study, more than 60 percent of participants said they could not. The absence of scientists in the public eye and the portrayal of scientists by the entertainment industry leads to the pervasive stereotype that scientists are unattractive, socially inept hermits, or that science is a career predominantly for white males. These stereotypes lead to decreased interest in science and make scientific careers look less appealing. This Is What a Scientist Looks Like is a community photo project looking to dispel these stereotypes by showcasing scientists in their natural habitat, whether it be the lab, the field or enjoying their hobbies.
