Can Calorie Counts Convince Teens Not to Buy Sugary Drinks? How do you get teens to stop drinking sugary soda? Threaten them with exercise.

Study: Another Reason to Keep the Drinking Age at 21 | TIME.com
Young women who came of age in the late 1960s and ’70s, when many states had lowered their legal drinking ages to under 21, remained at higher risk of suicide and homicide into adulthood, a new study finds.

The Math Gender Gap: Nurture Trumps Nature | TIME.com
(Updated) Rural India might not seem a likely place to study the roots of gender differences in math performance. But a new study of two tribes living in the northeast of the country offers intriguing evidence that biology alone does not determine women’s math aptitude (or lack thereof, as former Harvard President Lawrence Summers once infamously suggested) and that culture has a lot to do with th
Study: Are Women Choosing Romance Over Math and Science? | TIME.com
Study: Are Women Choosing Romance Over Math and Science? Women are notoriously underrepresented in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM, for short).

How Financial Woes Change Your Brain (And Not for the Better) Worrying about making ends meet, it seems, can occupy enough of the brain‘s finite thinking power that it makes it difficult to think clearly.
