The Issue: You remember the Weekly Reader, it was the little newspaper you got in elementary school, well weekly. It has a science supplement, Science Spin. There are seven pictures of people in the Science Spin, all are white. Five are male including the three scientists, and the two boys responding to what the scientists are doing. The two women- well one represents humans in a list that includes elephants, mice and bats and the other is an elderly woman with an outsized ear trumpet, funny looking glasses and a confused expression on her face. Even the sample of Nobel and Ig Nobel prize winners included was a little more diverse. .
