Be a scientist not a stereotype

This morning on my way to taking my daughter to school I imagined reading it as a scene...Seventeen year old girl, rides with father, switches radio stations 30 times, settles on some songs for no longer than 30 seconds, does her make-up, answers a few texts.  I imagined giving that direction to an actor and saw how easily it would be to fall on stereotypes of what someone might think that should look like. I observed my daughter closely and understood her OWN way of doing all the above.  She teaches me so much.
