A few months ago, [32] a team of interviewers were sent to schools to find out why children are prejudiced against science. Their answer provided this surprising picture of a typical scientist: they thought [33] a scientist is a rather dull person who spends all day working in a laboratory, wearing a white coat and making things that smell bad. They thought that scientists usually aren’t very interesting and don’t talk about anything but science. They don’t play games well and they aren’t attractive to the opposite sex. They also did not realize that women are as capable of becoming scientists as men.
    On the other hand, [34] an art graduate is seen as a much livelier person. Arts graduates are thought to have a better sense of humor, to be interested in sports and pop music and to be considered attractive. When you understand these misconceptions which children have, it is only logical that most of them want to study arts rather than science.
