Sometimes the perception of science does swing towards to the good side. Back in 2012 Ferdowsi was part of the NASA team who landed the Curiosity rover on Mars. He became an overnight sensation as the "Mohawk Guy" who was bringing cool back to science.
Fersowsi didn't do anything special to get all this fame except to be himself. He showed everyone that scientists are just normal people who love what they do. We need more Ferdowsi's on our front lines showing the public who we really are.
Just one guy put science back in the news overnight. People do get excited over science when they relate to it and this example shows that we can make a difference in how people see science.
