- pacemkr 16y agoFeels like they had a class discussion before each drawing. Its basically the same before and after theme. Before: white lab coat, glasses. After: 'normal' people. Not very scientific, excuse the pun.
- msquared 16y agoI completely agree - I see these kids walking through the halls with employees who were told specifically "OK, emphasize normalcy." Wouldn't it be ironic if this whole this was a setup experiment (well, it sorta was).
- jyothi 16y agoyeah probably all scientists were instructed to come in "blue" jeans only.
- staticshock 16y agohave you seen large groups of scientists at work? if not, maybe you're falling for the same stereotypes as those kids.
- Tichy 16y agoBecause usually they only wear white overalls, as is common knowledge.
- timinman 16y agoIt's kind of ironic because what kids are taught is that science is objective. Instead of learning that about science, these kids were fed dogma - which is way to common in 'science' these days.

- timinman 16y agoAdmittedly my comment was a little negative 'probably why it was downgraded. "Fed dogma" was a little strong; it was a cute, positive idea, even if they were promoting a point of view. I don't mind that; I think it just triggered a thought I've been having about feigned objectivity in science.
