Tough Trade-Offs: How Time And Career Choices Shape The Gender Pay Gap

When looking at the careers of 86,000 people, it turns out that women tend to gain less work experience compared to men doing the same jobs. This "work-experience pay gap" can add up to around $500,000 in lost earnings for a woman over a 30-year career.

TRIVIA ANSWER

The answer is hot water.

Thanks to the Mpemba effect, hot water freezes faster. It basically says that sometimes, hot water can actually freeze faster than cold water! Scientists aren't 100% sure why this happens, but they have some ideas about things like how the water moves around or what's dissolved in it. It doesn't always happen, but it's a cool fact!

That’s a wrap!
