Question: The typical image of a scientist is a white male. What do you think about this stereotype?

I think it comes from the past. I see scientists every day and they have many different cultures, religion, races. I still find that there are far too few women in Science though, but I trust you will change that because you now know being a Scientist has nothing to do with your sex. We are just normal people who misspell, have silly hobbies and often cannot answer questions from a teenager 😉
