Maia Weinstock, writing for Scientific American, on LEGO’s recently unveiled minifig, Professor C. Bodin:
She is the first female lab scientist in LEGO minifig form, although her specialty is deliberately vague. She might look like a chemist, but reading her official bio, one gets the sense she could equally be a biologist, biophysicist, materials engineer, theoretical physicist, or roboticist
Weinstock details LEGO’s historical stereotypes surrounding their female minifigs, and why releasing a female scientist continues a positive trend from the company.
