I remember commenting to one of my daughters' science teachers "I used to be a scientist", to which the response was "Once a scientist, always a scientist", which to be honest I found comforting. But I struggle now with cognitive disfunction from ME/CFS (far worse than the "fatigue" that some doctors seem to believe is the problem). I still try and read papers, link correctly, source my references, but it's an uphill struggle and I'm afraid I'm not doing as well as I'd like. I'm happy to say that both my girls went in for science in school. One is now working in Environmental Science, and I don't think she conforms to the stereotype! ;-) Guess she has too much fun for one thing! Best wishes from Liverpool! Love your article on Scientific Stereotypes.
