Aesthetic inspiration is social and collective, but aesthetic results are deeply personal. What works for one face, skin type, or bone structure won't always work for another.

International scientists, particularly those on visas, face unique challenges in their careers, especially in STEM fields. My book, 'Thriving as an International Scientist,' addresses these issues.

92 per cent of UK automotive employers report difficulty filling roles, making it the hardest-hit sector for recruitment in the country. The figure sits almost 20 percentage points above the national average, where 73 per cent of employers say they are unable to find suitable candidates.

As a forward-deployed engineer, my primary job is listening to customers. The results are very rewarding. Software engineers can feel far removed from customers, because they often can't see their impact.

The core of the argument is that agentic AI will replace human labor in most white-collar industries and will do so with dizzying speed. The consequent abrupt and massive job displacements will lead to crashes in property values and local tax bases, with devastating impacts on communities and much of the public sector.

I was like, 'What do you mean, I can actually work and take some classes?' I didn't even know there were apprenticeships out there, because I thought it was something of the past. That was my dream-to go into some field of engineering-so it was great to find something like AT&T, which has an apprenticeship program where you can jump into it, which later becomes software engineering.

Many of them say that AI's ascendance is already reducing demand for human researchers who can write code or do basic data analysis - tasks often handled by graduate students, postdocs or those without graduate training. Obsolescence of some basic roles in areas such as computer modelling "is not even in the future. It's happening now," says Xuanhe Zhao, a mechanical engineer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, because "AI is doing this much better than entry-level scientists".

Young people are "experiencing higher education differently, and that is shaping much of what parents are saying," said Lammers. "[Parents] are reacting to the questions their children are asking and trying to find the best way to help them navigate the next steps."
