A little light reading:
“My contention - and this is a wildly unscientific view based on
observation, drunken conversations and gut feeling - is that the
popular image of the scientist is based so closely on fictional
representations of science and - in particular - on science fiction
that the public view of science itself is becoming just a mirror of
these fantasy creations. ... So - stop reading this for a moment and
find a web browser. Go to your favourite search engine and run an
image search on "scientist"....."
