Do you get irritated by people just labeling you ‘Scientist’. Would you like them to see the depth into what you do?

  No I don’t really care what people label me, to be honest. Actually as an engineer I’m always quite flattered if people call me a scientist. I remember an ant biologist coming to the lab and seeing our swarm robot experiments about 12 or so years ago and saying “But, you’re doing science!!”

  No I don’t get irritated by people labelling me a scientist, I’m proud of it! But I think you are right in that it would be nice if people knew more about what we do. There’s more to us than white coats…
