Quick, what does a real scientist, engineer or mathematician look like? If someone from the cast of television?s The Big Bang Theory pops into your head, then keep reading. Here we go beyond the stereotypes to meet some real-life experts in science, technology, engineering and mathematics ? the so-called STEM fields.

The work these experts do takes them everywhere, from your neighborhood movie house to inside the White House. They are up in the air, helping high-flying military aircraft spy on the enemy, and down on the ground, inventing mobile applications blind people can use to type notes. Sometimes, what these STEM experts do isn?t about seeing at all ? it?s about looking good. One is even world famous for his contributions to the science of shampoo and conditioners. Smooth!

And who knows, you might just be inspired to join them.
