This Is What A Scientist Looks Like is a really cool project aimed at myth-busting the traditional scientist stereotype. Here's a snippet from their website:
Have you ever searched the Internet for an image of a scientist? Of the first 20 images in a Google image search, only two are women, all are white, and most have either too much or too little hair. Oh and most are sporting spectacles ...
[This Is What A Scientist Looks Like] is dedicated to changing the overwhelming stereotype that science is conducted behind closed doors by unapproachable old, white men.
The website features photographs of real scientists doing everyday things like
dancing,
surfing,
playing with pets,
rocking out on the guitar,
posing with their wedding party, or
pretending to be a walrus. It turns out that scientists are just as diverse and multidimensional as any other group of people, and they are even allowed to have fun!
