They are not scientists, they are doctors.
Four have an stethoscope, the other one looks the same but without the stethoscope and there is another one looking like a business woman.
So, where is the software engineer Barbie?
- minitoar 5y agoAt least 2 of them are doctors that do research. Are they not scientists?
- xchip 5y agoResearch is done by researchers, and they hardly carry a phonendoscope. For the record: Duties of a doctor Monitoring and caring for patients in hospitals and clinics Investigating, diagnosing and treating the health conditions of patients Prescribing and reviewing patients’ medication Taking accurate notes, as a legal record and for other healthcare professionals to use Working with other doctors, healthcare professionals and management staff Educating people about their health Teaching and supervising trainee doctors. More senior doctors may also: Manage a team or department and organise workloads Research and review processes. source: https://www.bellerbys.com/guides/careers/hospital-doctor https://www.bellerbys.com/guides/careers/hospital-doctor
- watwut 5y agoQuoting article: British woman Sarah Gilbert, a 59-year-old professor at Oxford University who co-developed the AstraZeneca vaccine, is another scientist to be honoured with a doll. This is one of dolls. Quite odd choice of person to gatekeep as a scientist.
- minitoar 5y agoI don’t understand what you are criticizing. These dolls are modeled after real people, some of whom are scientists. Are you saying these people don’t deserve to be called scientists?
- rsynnott 5y agoWell, first, two of the people these are based on aren't doctors at all; they're biomedical researchers with no background as practicing doctors. However, the random careers website you cite may be giving you a slightly confused idea about actual doctors, too. Many doctors do research, and a lot of medical research gets done by practicing doctors. That website isn't intended as an exhaustive guide to everything that doctors do.
- OJFord 5y agoIs medicine not science? I assume your 'business woman' is Professor Gilbert; seems to be the only non-clinical name.

- krapp 5y ago>So, where is the software engineer Barbie? She realized her female hormones and intellect meant that nature never intended women to be software engineers anyway, and that she was only coaxed into considering such a career path by the sexist agenda of Marxist feminist radicals to begin with. So she stayed at home and became a tradwife.
- watwut 5y ago> So, where is the software engineer Barbie? Barbie tend to be on the social conservative side.
