White, male, billionaire entrepreneurs fuel stereotypes that compound the issues surrounding diversity in technology and computer science, according to a new study.

The article from Phys.org discusses a study that explores how stereotypes about scientists influence public perception and engagement with science. The research, published in the journal "Science Communication," highlights that traditional stereotypes often portray scientists as older, white males in lab coats, which can alienate diverse groups from pursuing or engaging with science. The study found that these stereotypes not only affect career choices but also how scientific information is received and trusted by the public. Efforts to diversify the image of scientists through media, education, and outreach are suggested as crucial steps to broaden participation in STEM fields. The article emphasizes the need for a more inclusive representation of scientists to foster greater public interest, trust, and involvement in science.
