Around 70% of the 11-15 year olds questioned said they did not picture scientists as "normal young and attractive men and women".
Among those who said they would not like to be scientists, reasons included: "Because you would constantly be depressed and tired and not have time for family", and "because they all wear big glasses and white coats and I am female".
Found at the BBC. As it speaks for itself I will refrain from any comments...
UPDATE: Also an interesting post on the same article on cosmic variance. Especially nice are the pictures :-)
