SCIENTISTS OF NEW YORK: SHATTERING STEREOTYPES & HIGHLIGHTING DIVERSITY

Sunday, February 19, 2017
Exhibit Hall (Hynes Convention Center)
Anna Zeidman, Rockefeller University, New York, NY
Taking inspiration from Humans of New York, Scientists of New York (ScioNY) showcases how scientists come from a huge variety of backgrounds. Through ScioNY, we use photos and stories to challenge stereotypical perceptions of what a scientist looks like and humanize the scientific process. We hope that everyone will find a scientist (or many) who they can connect with in some way, making science and scientists more relatable.
