The Gluten-free diet... there's a fairly good chance you've heard about it and you might even be contemplating going gluten-free. Gluten-free products comprise one of the fastest-growing sections in our supermarkets and restaurants continue to add gluten-free alternatives to the menu.

It's important to understand its significance in our culture and even more important to be aware of the potential misconceptions that have arisen along the way. Do you even know what gluten is?

The dominating perception of women’s initiative of going into STEM careers creates an unnecessary dichotomy between male and female engineers. Perhaps a radical notion – but what happened to people going into engineering because, oh I don’t know, they actually enjoy math and science? The worldview: men go into engineering because they enjoy it, women go into engineering because they have a better chance of hitting the jackpot. |
