Znanstvenici objavljuju stock fotke koje bi, kao, trebale prikazivati njihov posao; prezabavne su
Ovo je jedan od zabavnijih trendova u posljednje vrijeme
Kad bi o znanstvenicima zaključivali na temelju stock fotografija, siroti bi ispali kao neki luckasti ljudi koju u svom poslu i ne rade baš previše toga. Do tog otkrića došli su upravo oni sami. Naime, sve je počelo kad je Nicole Paulk, profesorica biokemije i biofizike na University of California u San Franciscu, radila na jednoj prezentaciji i pokušavala pronaći neku za to odgovarajuću fotografiju.
Htjela je naći neku realističnu sliku znanstvenika, a umjesto toga, pronašla je fotografiju čovjeka koji bulji u komadić suhog leda. Fotku je objavila na Twitteru uz zabavan komentar “Ova stock fotografija znantvenika je neprocjenjiva. I ja često pažljivo proučavam komadiće suhog leda, jedan po jedan. Nikad ne možeš biti preoprezan.”
Uglavnom bulje u šarene tekućine, životinje i makete DNK
Ispostavilo se da zapravo hrpa stock fotografija prenosi posve krivu, ali prilično zabavnu sliku o znanstvenicima i njihovu poslu; pa oni tako uglavnom samo zure u životinje, biljke, tekućine raznih boja ili makete DNK.
Zato je Yvette d’Entremont, bivša kemičarka i znanstvena blogerica, došla na zabavnu ideju. Pokrenula je trend među znanstvenicima da takve fotke na Twitteru objavljuju s hashtagom #BadStockPhotosOfMyJob. Ima ih hrpa:
