L’Oréal and the Science of Beauty
At L’Oréal, we don’t just depend on science, we believe in science. It’s science that can turn the impossible into the possible, turn a dream into a reality, and in turn, reinvent our future. But none of this is conceivable without the curiosity and creativity of those behind the science: scientists themselves. They are the ones who dream and inspire. So why is there a shortage of women that pursue the field? That is why we at L’Oréal have created a community for girls who love science and a place for them to dream big. That place is For Girls in Science.  |

STEM and Your World
 On its face, STEM is just an acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. But look a little deeper! The fields that make up STEM have produced answers to profound universal questions; they’ve created thrill rides and special effects; they’ve saved precious plants and animals from extinction; they’ve led to important cures for debilitating diseases; and they’ve forever altered the way we communicate with one another (landline, cell phone, email, video chat, anyone?). |

Great STEM Careers
 What do you want to be when you grow up? The passions that inspire you today could inspire your career choice tomorrow. Hall of Fame Inventor Esther Takeuchi was drawn to inventing by her innate sense of fun. “I’m really driven by curiosity,” Takeuchi has said. “A lot of times, people who aren’t scientists don’t realize the level of creativity and novelty that’s involved in scientific experiments." With 145 patents on her resume, she’s at work perfecting the electric car battery of the future. But it all began with a little girl’s love for asking, “why?”

Career Tip:
Never give up on your dreams and goals, no matter what others have to say,” reminds Amy S. Brown, project architect at Nicholas Lucarelli Architects. “I have been working in the field of architecture for 17 years now and I had a professor question my choice of study while in college. By the time I graduated I had changed his mind. So always believe in yourself. |

 What did you do on your summer vacation? Next fall, your answer could be: “I worked at NASA to design a space exploration mission.” Or, “I designed a video game. Wanna play?” Or even, “I trained to be a fighter pilot.”
