Hey everyone. I'm doing a project on diversity in Science as part of a scientific teaching course, and I'm making a tumblr plot of photos of "real" Scientists when they were kids. Lab scientists, science teachers, PIs (especially PIs), anyone who counts themselves as STEM.
If you're happy to be included, could you e mail me a photo and attach brief answers to these questions?
Current age:
Current job:
What did you want to be when you grew up?
Where did you grow up?
How did you end up a Scientist?
What’s your proudest moment as a Scientist?
What’s your proudest moment outside of that?
Any words of wisdom for wannabe Scientists?
And just so you get to see an adorable photo of me looking soggy halfway up a mountain:

Also, I'm going to queue up just one post a day. So don't expect to see yourself immediately!
If you want to pass this on to your students or lab mates, please do! The more variety, the better!
Thanks!
