Are you tired of always seeing the same faces in the science and history books?
Scientists were dropped out from the told history, or simply they were never given fair recognition, subject to social and cultural prejudices. An example of this would be the Matilda Effect, a bias towards denial of recognition of women’s scientific achievements and persistent questioning of their validity. Additionally, others may have been under-recognised due to simply not matching the ‘standard picture’ of a scientist.
By excluding scientists from the told history, society is not only missing out on great talent and inspiring individuals, but it is also contributing to everyone’s unconscious or implicit bias towards the preconceived picture of how a scientist looks like.
The Wall of Scientists embraces the diversity among scientists as the norm, instead of the new. We give visibility to less frequently seen scientists, while still embracing the familiar ones.
An opportunity to explore, get inspired, and contribute!
