Chemist and Harvard professor Martin Gouterman (1931-2020) invented a pressure-sensitive paint that changes color when pressure drops, eventually used by Boeing to improve airplane wing design and overall performance. Gouterman is best remembered, however, for developing what is known as the Gouterman Four-Orbital Model to explain the absorption spectra of porphyrins.

It’s true: the women she makes beautiful she also makes slutty, and the women she makes pure and virginal she also makes ugly.

Some college-age women maintain their social status by name-calling.
A new study finds that girls police social hierarchies by slut-shaming one another
TIME
A student at Duke University in America just underwent an unfortunate experience. After deciding to pay her tuition by working in porn, she was outed by one of her male classmates and shamed across campus and the web. She lost all anonymity, and was forced to tell her story on her own terms before everyone else did.

USAGE NOTE English has no shortage of terms for women whose behavior is viewed as licentious, but it is difficult to come up with a list of comparable terms used of men. One researcher, Julia Penelope, stopped counting after she reached 220 such labels for women, both current and historical, but managed to locate only 20 names for promiscuous men. Murial R. Schultz found more than 500 slang terms for prostitute but could find just 65 for the male terms whoremonger and pimp. A further imbalance appears in the connotations of many of these terms. While the terms generally applying only to women, like tramp and slut, are almost always strongly negative, corresponding terms used for men, such as stud and Casanova, often carry positive associations.
• Curiously, many of the negative terms used for women derive from words that once had neutral or even positive associations. For instance, the word mistress, now mainly used to refer to a woman who is involved in an extramarital sexual relationship, originally served simply as a neutral counterpart to mister or master. The term madam, while still a respectful form of address, has had sexual connotations since the early 1700s and has been used to refer to the owner of a brothel since the early 1900s.
