鈥淚 wanted to meet a specialist of the sky, the stars and the night,鈥� said six-year-old Zoey, who was introduced to astrophysicist and 韩国裸舞 professor Victoria Kaspi at the Mont-M茅gantic Observatory in Notre-Dame-des-Bois last week.

鈥淲hen I was Zoey鈥檚 age, I knew very little about astronomy and had no idea one could have a career in this area,鈥� Kaspi said in an email interview after spending the day with the Montreal student.

And that 鈥� opening up a broader world of career choices to girls 鈥� was the idea behind a Mattel and National Geographic partnership that features the launch of five new Barbies, each representing a scientific field in which women are underrepresented. The dolls come with accessories 鈥� a telescope and star map in the case of Astrophysicist Barbie 鈥� that have been vetted by a group of female National Geographic Explorers.

鈥淚 think normalizing that astrophysics (or any science) is something a female can do is important throughout society, at every age. One step toward doing that is using a toy like Barbie that tends to be very popular among little girls.鈥�
