505 0  Introduction. Light : a project, a format, a method, an 
       event -- The most common stereotypes about science and 
       scientists : what scholars know -- How to undo stereotypes
       about scientists and science -- How to undo young people's
       stereotypes about scientists and science -- Can people 
       really change their opinion about scientists? -- Did we 
       make a difference? 
520    "Scientists deserve public recognition. The ways that they
       are depicted, however, are severely limited in physical 
       and personal traits, helping to establish and enhance 
       stereotypes under the general title of 'scientist'. These 
       stereotypes range from the arrogant researcher who wants 
       to rule the world, to the lab coat wearing 'nerdy' genius,
       but all generally fall to an extreme view of an existing 
       perception of what a scientist should look and be like. 
       For example, the popular image of 'a scientist' overlooks 
       the presence of women almost entirely unless attributed to
       specific subjects and/or with narrow character depictions.
       The implications can be far-reaching. Young people, being 
       heavily swayed by what they see and hear in the media, may
       avoid scientific careers because of these limited or 
       unflattering portrayals of the scientific community, 
       regardless of whether they reflect real life. Based on 
       findings from the Light'13 project, this book examines 
       such stereotypes and questions whether it is possible to 
       adjust people's perception of scientists and to increase 
       interest in science and scientific careers through a 
       series of specific actions and events."
