We are the Ultimate Mentor Adventure Leadership Council, a group of high school women striving to empower youth across the country through science. This is a picture of us at Underwriter’s Laboratories (UL), where we conducted various safety science experiments including putting out fires and launching ice balls at solar panels to test rigidity. UL is in every household in America as they are the main safety standard setters in the nation. Our website is http://stemwomenonfire.weebly.com/ Photo credits go to UL. :)
Betul Kacar is a postdoctoral scientist interested in understanding how history influences future evolutionary trajectories. She and her undergrads combine molecular phylogeny with experimental evolution and engineer modern bacterial chromosomes with ancient proteins inferred through ancestral sequence reconstruction studies.

Sofia Viniegra, Jon Sanders, and Aniek Ivens are biologists interested in the division of labor, interspecific partnerships, and the ecology of mutualisms. In this photo, from the biannual meeting of social insect researchers in the Northeast USA, they are learning how to dissect ants to find out about the diversity of their microbial endosymbionts. The next meeting like this will be held in Philadelphia this spring, click here for more details. There's also a map of social insect researchers worldwide. Photo taken at the Rockefeller University field station in Millbrook, NY by James Waters. This is what scientists look like!

Dani, Nickie, Brooke, and other members of their high school robotics team build a 3'x3'x5' robot in just six weeks to compete against and with other teams in the FIRST Robotics Competition. The challenge this year is to manipulate exercise balls down a 54' field.

Thanks everyone for checking this project out! Please feel free to submit your own photos of the real-life scientists you know and love, http://wedoscience.tumblr.com/submit. Include a caption and I’ll share them here! In this photo, ASU graduate students Ioulia and Meghan are blacklighting at night for insects in Madera Canyon, Arizona.

Great piece about the tailored threads worn by some of history's greatest ecologists and field biologists.
