Prior to WWII the U.S was a distant second in science and engineering. By the time the war was over, U.S. science and engineering had blown past the British, and led the world for 85 years.

People who spend a lot of time on social media are more likely to get plastic surgery. A new study out of Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine surveyed patients at a dermatology clinic between 2019 and 2021 and found that time spent on social media, and the use of photo-editing applications, correlate with a person’s desire to undergo cosmetic procedures. They say the angle of a “selfie” often distorts facial features in such a way that people don’t like the way they look. Called “Snapchat dysmorphia,” people seek treatments like Botox and fillers to try to look…

The “selfie” culture on social media appears to be intensifying people’s desires to undergo cosmetic procedures, a new study suggests. Time spent on Snapchat or Instagram seems to heighten a person’s interest in such procedures, researchers found. This was particularly true if folks used filters and photo-editing applications to alter the personal pictures they posted. “While there are many factors that likely contribute to this, social media usage did likely increase the desire, amongst a subset of patients, to seek cosmetic procedures,” concluded the research team led by senior researcher Dr. Neelam Vashi, an associate professor of dermatology at the Boston…
