The occasional ten year old photoblog post interspersed with whatever else takes my fancy

27th January 2012

Photo reblogged from (±0.2 Billion Years.) with 415 notes

wonderful 14-billion-years-later: realcleverscience: psydoctor8: What 7th graders think of scientists (and how they look) before and after they meet in person: I think of a scientist as very dedicated to his work. He is kind of crazy, talking always quickly. He constantly is getting new ideas. He is always asking questions and can be annoying. He listens to others’ ideas and questions them. - Amy  Click thru to see before and after drawings. H/T Dr. SunWolf & Annie Murphy Paul I like the description, but it’s important for kids (and adults) to know that scientists are normal people (ok, maybe a bit more awesome than than the average bear). The truth is that we all do science to some extent in our lives (“I wonder what does that button does? Hmm..” - Science!) and we can all be “scientists”. So keep getting new ideas, keep asking questions, and rock on scientists! (P.s. See a related post by ScienceNote here.) Not gonna lie, this is exactly how I pictured scientists as a kid. And exactly what I wanted to be.
