While these are obviously stereotypes shaping perceptions, one of my missions is to break down barriers between scientists and the public. The #FollowThatScientist movement is a great opportunity to do that. CDCBefore I describe what #FollowThatScientist is, I want to place viewpoints on contemporary science in context.

Somewhere along the way, a scientist was "researching and developing" them for years through funding, support, and a lot of hard work.
