Description: My drawing is a "mad scientist", in a lab coat, with experimental equipment in front of him and a blackboard behind him portraying a variety of scientific equations. Expressing thee typical idea of a scientist that comes to mind when I think of a 'scientist'.

Origin: The possible origins of my drawing could be a replica (attempted) of images I have seen of Einstein throughout my life. The "mad scientist" relates to Albert Einstein along with the bushy hair and untidy mustache. Also Einstein is often portrayed with a board behind him.

Conclusion: This drawing could definitely depict an image of Einstein in that I did write "E = mc 2" which is Einstein's theory of relativity

an equation believed to be formulated by Einstein very early in the 1900s. This equation expressed that matter and energy are interchangeable with one another.

Along with this my drawing very clearly expresses Einstein's unkept hair and mustache which is signature to the look of Einstein. Expressing as in many other depictions of Einstein that he is indeed a "mad/crazy scientist".

Description:

My drawing is of a male scientist dressed in an apron as he tests the quality of water. In my drawing the scientist is shown to be wearing an apron to protect his clothing, and safety glasses to protect his eyes from the chemical equipment’s being used. Juxtaposing to the stereotypical laboratory setting for scientists my scientist is located outside within the environment.

Origin:

I have depicted my scientist through my experience of chemistry and biology excursions where we went to Long Neck Lagoon to conduct experimental analysis of the quality of the water in the lake. Given to us, as depicted in the drawings were brief case full of testing equipment’s for nitrates, phosphates, pH, ammonia, oxygen, hardness, alkalinity, and salinity kits. These kits assisted us as we investigated the quality of water.

Conclusion:

After this activity I have realised that there are many more different fields of science and scientist that work to develop and produce, new technologies, and come up with cures for illnesses. Moreover my understanding of Science/Scientist has increased, as I recognise the aim of science and scientist is to explain complicated problems in simple ways for ordinary people to understand and grow in knowledge.

Description: My first thoughts of a scientist are drawn to Einstein and the image of a scientist with crazy hair, and wearing a lab coat. My scientist is also carrying a beaker typical in labs and enclosed shoes
Origin: I was inspired by Einstein and the stereotypical image of a scientist. This reminds of the imagery surrounding scientists drawn from childhood. Now however I have learnt that scientists are not just male or have crazy hair, there is now a greater diversity in the types of people who are scientists not just male but also female.

Conclusion: My typical idea connected with a scientist is heavily drawn from my experiences as a child. Despite doing science later in high school and learning about different scientists and and their roles outside of the typical laboratory, my ideas are shaped by my childhood experiences and the medias stereotype of a scientist.

Description: i have drawn Doctor Sheldon Cooper from the tv show the big bang. He is drawn in his signature flash tv shirt as he wears it both at work and at home in the show. He is a physicist on the show hence no lab coat.

Origin: i drew Sheldon Cooper because thats the way my mind connects professions is through their portrayal in popular culture tv shows, i.e. a doctor is JD from scrubs, a cop is Jake Peralta from Brooklyn Nine Nine.

Conclusion: i have noticed my portrayal of a scientist looks at the sub sections of science, i.e. microbiologists, paleontologists and other forms of scientists shown in comedy tv shows. I also think of science teachersas go to scientists.

Description: I have drawn a male scientist performing an experiment. He has the stereotypical ‘scientist look’.

Origins: The first thing that came to mind when asked to draw a scientist was the stereotypical ‘mad’ scientist that is wearing stereotypical clothing and using tools commonly associated with science and experimentation.

Conclusions: I have noticed that my initial thought was to draw a stereotype and not delve into the possibility that scientists do not look the same and aren’t ‘mad’, there are both female and male scientists but on instinct I drew a male because they are typically associated as being a scientist

Description - I have drawn a male scientist. He's a bit confused with what he's doing, maybe an experiment hasn't achieved the results he thought it would. He has the wild spiky hair because it's just the fun stereotype I like to play around with because of various tv shows and movies.

Origins - The first thing I thought of was in going to movie and especially tv shows. My first point of inspiration was Rick Sanchez (from Rick & Morty), that's where I got the hair from. However I decided that the rest of it should be fitting of the proper scientist stereotypes (labcoat, screen hanging from the ceiling etc.).

Conclusions - I have drawn what is a typical stereotyped scientist. Obviously there are female scientists, and obviously as well science is more then just lab work, but science branches off into many different sections (bio, chemistry etc.).

Description:
The scientist that I have drawn is a male scientist in PPE - a lab coat and safety glasses. He is also in a laboratory performing experiments with different chemicals.

Origin:
When asked to draw a scientist this is the first thing that came to mind undoubtedly because it is the stereotypical scientist. A male in a laboratory wearing typical PPE. This stereotype has come about as it is often how movies and the media present scientists. Also, in the past there were very few women in the field of science.

Conclusions:
The stereotypical scientist, as seen in my drawing is quite narrow in comparison to the real diversity that we see in science today. This is in terms of more women in science but also scientists doing more than just experiments in the lab.

Description:
When I was asked to draw a scientist, the first that came up in my mind was research and microscopes. So, I have depicted a female scientist, who is appropriately dressed in the personal protective equipment (PPE), conducting a study on cultures aided by a microscope.

Origin:

Being a science student, I have depicted a female scientist as I believe females have equally contribution to the world of science as males, for example Roslin Franklin who at her time broke stereotypical grounds. Further, I have stereotypically shown how scientist are portrayed in a documentary or books, looking into microscopes and being serious.

Conclusion:

As there are many aspects to being a scientist, examination through a microscope is only one of the many roles of a scientist. Though my illustration does depict a scientist working indoors, this interpretation nowadays may not be accurate due to the diverse fields in science. My drawing does highlight the typical attire of a scientist with safety glasses, lab coat and hair tied up, however breaks the stereotypical illustration of male scientists as there is growing equality between the genders.

Hey Everyone! I just swapped into this tutorial, my original post is in the Thursday 2pm tutorial.

Short Description: The scientist I drew was male in his mid 50's, had a moustache, wore glasses, wore a lab coat, and had pens in his pocket to always be recording his results and observations. His hair is curly and wild to depict that he is a "mad" Scientist.

Origins: The origins of my drawing stem from the well known scientist Albert Einstein. He was what I thought of when I was asked to draw, and hence why the features of the hair and moustache are in my drawing.

Conclusion:
It can be seen that my drawing is westernised and is stereotypical in the way of my scientist being male, is in his mid 50's, has wild hair, a lab coat, glasses and a moustache. This resembles Albert Einstein, and has close to no resemblance at all with scientists of today. Today there are more scientists that are female and younger, and are within environments and not just a lab.

Description:

When I was asked to draw a scientist, the first few things that came into my mind was that scientists always wear personal protective equipment (PPE) in which you could see in my very basic stick figure drawing. I have included the very basic features of a scientist such as; a male scientist wearing a white lab coat, enclosed leather shoes, safety gloves, safety googles or glasses and with short crazy hair.

Origin:

My perception of a scientist comes from my experiences within my science classes during my time at high school as my teachers were male. In which this has resulted in my drawing looking similar to them as they would always wear their personal protective equipment (PPE) and they had short crazy hair like Einstein. Therefore, both Einstein and my science teachers have enhanced my understanding as to what a scientist looks like, as it is further emphasised as a stereotypical view of a scientist.

Conclusions:

My drawing represents the stereotypical appearance of a scientist as they always wear personal protective equipment (PPE). However, as we compared and discussed one another’s drawings within the lecture, it was evident that every individual had a different perception and influence as to what a scientist looked like. Everyone had a variety of different things included within their drawings such as chemicals bubbling, scientists using test tubes, undertaking experiments, using a microscope, exploring the fields, etc. which resulted in different ideas, concepts and discussions arising within the lecture. As I was drawing my stick figure, Einstein came into my mind as he had crazy hair. Therefore, my drawing has been influenced by Einstein and my science teachers.

Additionally, everyone is more than welcome to use my drawing as part of their assignment. Information that you might need for the demographics includes that I am a female, 19 years old and majoring in primary education.

Description: Female scientist (marine biologist) using a quadrat to quantify biodiversity on a coral reef. This is a personal image for me as I completed this task last semester for one of my classes at Heron Island, Queensland.

Origin: I portrayed a marine biologist in the field. After nearly 3 years of  undergraduate advanced biology I have learnt that modern scientists use a broad range of techniques across multidisciplinary fields to achieve a result. Wet suites and dive booties also count as personal protective equipment!

Conclusion: Scientist is a very broad term. This could mean anyone who studies a particular occurrence or process. The typical depiction of a scientist is a man in a lab coat usually performing microscopy or chemical sampling. However, my exposure to the field has allowed my outlook to be a lot broader than what is displayed in the media and what I perceived in my schooling. Thus, I believe that exposure is crucial to perception. Further, female scientists are having a growing success in the scientific field, allowing males and females to achieve their dreams in an equitable way.

Description:
When asked to draw a scientist, i drew inspiration from a wide range of popular culture figures. The scientist is wearing a long lab coat, sitting at a lab bench and observing the many test tubes present in the test-tube rack . I drew the stereotypical spiky hair and large goggles to further reflect upon pop-culture's representation of scientists.

Origin:
Popular culture figures, both old and new, are the inspiration for my drawing. Figures such as Albert Einstein, Nikola Tesla, and Rick from 'Rick and Morty' help shape society's perspective of scientists. Media's representation of scientists inspired the hair, lab coat, test tubes, and the spiky electrocuted hair.

Conclusion:
As a whole, the depiction of scientists in media as old men with lab coats and googles, which ive followed in my drawing, has made an imprint on society's perspective of scientists. The modern scientist, however, stems away from the stereotype. My scientist follows the stereotypical 'dress code', whilst scientist safety equipment and apparel differs from field to field, expressing that scientists are a diverse group of people.

Description:
This scientist is an astronomer/astrophysicist, looking into the stars. He doesn't require an PPE, however he dose have a telescope as his primary tool.

Origin:
My perception of science is derived from what I love, which is astronomy. I think that a scientist looking up into the stars means so much. This drawing is a stereotypical astronomer, looking into space. My scientist isn't a famous figure, because I don't believe that to be a scientist you need to be famous, you only need to look, explore and question.

Conclusion:
Being a scientist can mean many things. I always think that all scientists should question the unknown as well as what we accept as the truth. I'd like to think that this picture is symbolic of how just seeing can lead to incorrect answers. Such as scientist discovering Ceres, Pluto and Pallas. After a better assessment, better equipment, and questioning the truth these were found to be asteroids. The point is, science is about questioning what we are told to know, and using evidence to create a better judgement.

Description

I drew them dressed ready to enter a lab and tried to stay realistic. They are wearing a long white lab coat as I know this can be typical attire worn in a science lab. They are wearing safety glasses as well to protect from any thing happening in a lab. I also made the decision to draw a female, as anyone can be a scientist.

Origins

My origins of this scientists is from science class in high school mixed with media stereotypes. I know we had to dress safely ever time we entered the lab and I drew the white lab coat as that is the main piece of clothing I associate with scientists.

Conclusions:

While I tried to bring in elements of realism to my scientist by making them a female, I can see that there are some key aspects of her look that are stereotypical in look. Drawing a lab coat and glasses, while realistic, they aren’t the only way scientists dress as scientists are normal people and dress and look in many different ways.

Description:
When asked to draw a scientist i immediately thought of figures such as ''Doc" from the movie Back to the Future, and Einstein. Thus, my drawing is my interpretation of these 'mad scientists'.

Origin:
As mentioned above, Doc and Einstein were two figures that influenced my drawing. Thus, my scientist is a man with frizzy hair, glasses and is wearing a lab coat. I also drew test tubes and a flask as they came to mind first as scientific equipment.

Conclusion:
In summary, my interpretation of a scientist is stereotypical as such features such as the lab coat, glasses and frizzy hair are typical ideas people have regarding scientists. Although this stereotypical image of a scientist is held amongst many others, scientists nowadays do not necessarily follow this narrow interpretation as they differ in appearance, sex, age and fields of science.

Description:

When I thought of ‘scientist’, the first thing that came into mind was a European middle-aged man wearing a lab coat and glasses, and has fuzzy hair. My image illustrates a scientist immersed in an experiment with chemicals, conducted in a science laboratory.

Origin:

My perception of a stereotypical scientist stems from media, including movies, books and shows. For example, images I have seen of Einstein, has been him wearing a lab coat and performing an experiment. My stereotypical image has also derived from my experience in school, where we conducted an abundance of experiments and had to wear safety glasses and lab coats.

Conclusion:

Overall, it is clear that my perception of a ‘scientist’ is extremely stereotypical. I have not considered other areas of science, as I just drew the typical experiment conducted in a lab room with chemicals. Furthermore, I have not considered the diversity in scientists, as i drew a typical European middle-aged man. Thus, this preconceived image of ‘scientist’ does not entirely exist today, as scientists work in a range of areas and have different appearance and ages.

Also, for anyone interested in using my image for their assignment, the demographics you need to know is that i am a female, 19 years old and majoring in primary education.

Description:

My scientist drawing is very basic but the features I included were the generic glasses and frizzy hair. He is also holding lab equipment and chemicals. I found that my immediate thought on the words scientist was a stereotypical 'mad scientist' from movie culture.

Origin:

As stated above, my scientist is a very pop culture style drawing, almost in the same style as Doc Brown from back to the future. Similarly, when I tried to think of a real world scientist my mind automatically went to Einstein who also has an element of the mad scientist look to him.

Conclusions:
Based on my drawing and the others from the lecture I would say that there seems to be a very black and white image of what a scientist is and what they look like at first thought. When looked at further and discussed, scientists really aren't black and white in what they do and what they look like. Scientists are stereotyped usually as chemists with experiments bubbling around them, mostly male with glasses and in a lab coat. In reality, it is only really possible to describe individual scientists and not scientists as a whole since there is such vast differences between them all.

Description:

I drew what first came into my mind when I think of a scientist: a person in a lab, working with scientific equipment and making observations. The equipment I included was a microscope and test tubes and beakers, as this is what I am most familiar with working with.

Origin:

My drawing comes from my experience of science at school and university, where I have done biology and chemistry in labs. I was also inspired by common representations of scientists, such as some of the characters on the show “Big Bang Theory”, who are often shown in labs.

Conclusions:

My picture represents the common stereotype of scientists working alone in labs with common equipment such as chemicals and microscopes. However, I know this not to be true; I neglected to think about scientists who work in the field, or who work in collaboration with others, among other ideas. No ‘real’ scientists came to mind when I was drawing this picture but rather fictional representations such as TV characters. I also drew on my own experiences in being a scientist myself in science classes, reflected in the equipment chosen in the picture, which I have used in my own experiments.
