Super Scientists, Brilliant Biologists, Champion Chemists, Phantastic Physicists

What image comes to mind when you think of a scientist?
White coat, clipboard, lack of social life?
Possibly mad hair and ‘evil genius’ tendencies?

What about technologists, engineers and inventors? Do you tend to picture such individuals up to their elbows in grease, happier in the company of machines than humans – and again, possibly with a wild thatch of a hairdo on top?

Hollywood and those tv washing powder adverts have a lot to answer for when it comes to stereotyping! But unfortunately, many people do believe these unappetising scenarios are an accurate reflection of what a career in science or technology would really be like.

Why not try it and see…?
