Here are some of the drawings (downloaded from academia.edu) :

• "Depicting scientific knowledge as power (multiple legs and arms)"

• "Scientists can be destructive"

Drawings of scientists by children reveal their impression of science and scientists, but these also provide a glimpse of how society as a whole projects science and scientists to all of its members.
