Demystifying who is a Physicist: Portrait of a Scientist

Portrait of a Scientist is a collaborative project that aims to deconstruct stereotypes about who is and can be a scientist. The project attempts to showcase people's multifaceted identities through visual mediums. Participants are asked to complete the phrase "I am a scientist and I also..." with any hobby, role, or identity that they feel comfortable sharing. The most engagement with the project, which has been running since 2021, has occurred when responses are collected during in-person particle physics conferences and meetings. This has had the added benefit of introducing participants to each other's uniqueness, or even their similarities, that goes beyond physics. This poster will highlight some of the project's responses, interactions, and outcomes and discuss expanding its potential future impact.
