Scientists from the Eyes of Children



The following are excerpts and figures from the following paper:

Downloaded from academia.edu
Here are some of the drawings (downloaded from academia.edu) :

  • "Depicting scientific knowledge as power (multiple legs and arms)"



  • "Depicting scientific knowledge as ability to transform reality"

  • "Being alone and spending a life deeply focused inside the laboratory"
  • "Scientists can be destructive"


Drawings of scientists by children reveal their impression of science and scientists, but these also provide a glimpse of how society as a whole projects science and scientists to all of its members.
