People assumed the billboard used a stock photo, rather than a picture of an actual engineer, because she didn't conform to the physical expectations of an engineer. See the picture of the facebook comment thread in the article. It turns out a lot of engineers don't conform to the physical expectations of an engineer. A lot of them are posting to Twitter under the hashtag #ilooklikeanengineer - https://twitter.com/hashtag/ilooklikeanengineer https://twitter.com/hashtag/ilooklikeanengineer Conference organizers should probably keep things like this in mind when booking male-dominated lineups ("we just can't find any woman engineers" is a common refrain).
