Abstract
Imagine you are a child of 4 or 5 years and have never met a scientist. The only images of scientists you’ve seen are from popular media outlets such as cartoons, movies, advertisements, comic books, and TV. These images are almost always of either great scientists like Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton, Galileo Galilei, Charles Darwin, and Marie Curie, or fictional characters that wear lab coats and goggles, and work with brightly colored, dangerous, bubbling chemicals in a laboratory.
