German high school student Isabel Lautesbach, 18, is just one of two girls in her 10-person chemistry class for students interested in STEM (Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) careers ­— a ratio similar, she says, to her math and physics classes. Lautesbach s class average is only mildly smaller than the worldwide gender ratio in STEM fields. Women make up less than 30% of the world s scientific researchers, according to UNESCO data. They are less likely to hold senior authorship positions, make up small minorities of senior staff positions at universities and get paid less than their male counterparts, it reads, following decades of research pointing to a "gender gap" in STEM fields where women are given less representation.

More than 80% of Wikipedia editors (or Wikipedians) are male.

Long, artificial lashes are becoming more and more popular, but getting them can be a significant undertaking. While strip lashes may be easier to apply on your own, individual single lashes are applied by a professional where every single artificial lash is attached to your real lashes with a specific glue. The process takes time, since your upper lid alone has roughly 150 to 250 lashes. So it might be 1.5 to three hours until you re done. Afterward, the lashes must avoid contact with water for 24 hours. Trips to the sauna or the tanning salon are out as well.

Doctors sometimes describe the triangular area of one s face encompassing the nose and mouth, where sores left untreated can transmit bacteria to the brain, as the "danger triangle of the face" or the "triangle of death." The ominous classification was adopted when doctors discovered that blood vessels in this triangular area of your face have close links to blood vessels in your brain, making it easier for dangerous bacteria to enter through open wounds and transmit infections to your cranium, that, if left untreated, could cause death.
