As promised, today we aren’t discussing car gadgets that are practical.

When you think ‘scientist’ odds are, you think of a man. And that probably has a lot to do with the fact that women are still wildly underrepresented in the field. But it’s important to know and understand that women have been making waves in science for years and will continue to do so. Actually, they can tell you better than we can, so let’s look at some powerful quotes from [...]
These Phobias Sound Made Up, But Rest Assured, They’re Legit
