Mad Scientist Stereotype Outdated
Do people still imagine a physicist as a bearded man in glasses or has the image of the madscientist changed? The Institute of Physics set out to find out whether the stereotype of a physics"boffin" (科学家) still exists by conducting a survey on shoppers in London. The peoplewere asked to identify the physicist from a photograph of a line-up of possible of those asked got it wrong. The majority of people picked a white male of around 60,wearing glasses and with a white beard.
While this stereotype may have been the image of all average physicist fifty years ago, thereality is now very different since 1960 the number of young women entering physics hasdoubled and the average age of a physicist is now 31.
The stereotype of the absent-minded scientist has lasted a long time because the media andHollywood help promote the image of men in white lab coats with glasses sitting by blackboardsfull of equations (等式) or working with fizzing (嘶嘶响) test tubes. These stereotypes arereally damaging to society. Very good school children are put off studying science because theydon't see people like themselves
