'What do you imagine when you’re asked what a scientist looks like? Are you picturing lab coats, goggles and conical flasks? How about the person? Are they a White man with grey hair, who resembles Albert Einstein?
If that’s who you pictured – you aren’t alone. But it’s something that we want to change!'
