@Sheril this seems like a ridiculous poll. I would guess a lot of Americans can name a scientist-but they don't think of them as scientists. It's their cousin who works in biotech, or their friends wife who teaches as the local university, or someone who is known for some other reason, but is known for an entirely unrelated reason.

@rbmath@mathstodon.xyz /me being polled: "Well I'm a scientist! How famous do they need to be before I can name them?" *rolls eyes* 100% agree, that's a poll for Reader's Digest at best. @Sheril@mastodon.social
