"A new study has found that eating 50g or more of high-fat cheese a day correlates with a lower risk of developing dementia. That means all cheeses with more than 20 percent fat content, including brie, gouda, cheddar, parmesan, gruyere, and mozzarella." www.sciencealert.com/cheese-linke...

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.
And trans lives are grounded in reality.

Started college planning to be a drama major and then attend a Lutheran seminary, but first semester took a class on the formation of the New Testament realized my understanding of faith wasn’t a good fit for pastoring.
I started as a forensic science major because I wanted to go to medical school and become a forensic pathologist like Kay Scarpetta in Patricia Cornwell’s novels. But then I failed chemistry and biology, but had an A in English, so I decided to switch majors and become an English professor instead.
What’s the lore behind choosing your career path ?
