As the World’s population is increasing at an unpreceded pace, advancement in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) is critical to ensure food, water, clothing, access to medical treatment, quality of life, and adequate housing for everyone. Unfortunately, too few young (wo)men choose a STEM field in college. In my opinion, the reason is a lack of sufficient early exposure to these fields. Here, I provide ideas from own and my former students’ common experiences. We all have been inspired for our field in childhood by adults. Best, the majority of them weren’t STEM teachers and weren’t in this field.

Dua Lipa, Doja Cat, Kendall Jenner, and Chlöe were all on the same fashion wavelength this week. While attending an event honoring the launch of Jean Paul Gaultier on Fwrd in Los Angeles on Nov. 17, Doja Cat wore a matching sheer set from the designer’s Cyber Collection. The ensemble consisted of The Blue Dots Print Crop Top and The Blue Dots Print Pants in hypnotic shades of blue, purple, and yellow, mimicking the body’s thermal signature.

Just one day earlier, on Nov. 16. Lipa posed in the exact same outfit, layered over a The Blue Dots Print Bikini Top, on a beach in Australia — an unexpected and likely unplanned twinning moment that proves the design is a global sensation in the celebrity fashion sphere. While Doja Cat styled her look with gold earrings, rings, and a brown leather coat with faux-fur trim, Lipa kept the look casual, opting

Dua Lipa took her love for Y2K fashion and kicked it up a notch during her “Future Nostalgia” tour. Giving us major déjà vu, Lipa posed backstage in a Blumarine denim maxi dress, evoking Britney Spears’s iconic Kurt and Bart patchwork dress from the 2001 American Music Awards red carpet. While Spears’s outfit was styled to match Justin Timberlake’s all-denim suit and cowboy hat, Lipa owned the look all by herself, striking a series of poses for photographer Elizabeth Miranda.

Unlike Spears’s dress, Lipa’s featured a thin pair of spaghetti straps and a low-cut bustier embellished with metallic studs under the cups. The studs trailed down Lipa’s dress in parallel lines along the seams, splitting into inverted V shapes before plunging into the folds of her sweeping train.

Lipa’s stylist, Lorenzo Posocco, paired the ensemble with a bejeweled cross necklace and a Blumarine denim belt embellished with the

Who says high fashion can’t work for a Halloween costume? Just take a cue from Hailey Bieber, who stepped out Sunday night for a Halloween party at The Peppermint Club in West Hollywood. Clad in a vampy Versace getup, the 25-year-old model arrived hand in hand with her husband, Justin Bieber, who put his affinity for “Sesame Street” on full display by showing up dressed in a bright-blue Cookie Monster costume.

Bieber’s bold Versace look consisted of a black harness bra that featured intricate cutouts at the front and a matching black miniskirt. To pull together her Halloween ‘fit, she layered on the accessories, beginning with a bundle of belts stacked around her waist and hips. One belt spelled out “Versace” in gold capital letters, which complemented the gold garter belt that she wore around her right thigh. Another had a big gold belt buckle that played right into the
