Meet Chix Fix, the all-female aircraft repair team that’s trying to change the industry

This post is part of Mashable’s ongoing series The Women Fixing STEM, which highlights trailblazing women in science, tech, engineering, and math, as well as initiatives and organizations working to close the industries’ gender gaps.

At the far reaches of San Francisco International Airport, there’s a nondescript gray building that houses the United Maintenance Center. I’m here to see the facilities and meet some of the aircraft repair team. Inside, there’s a huge room containing a Boeing 737; people are crawling all over its wings, underbelly, and main cabin. It reminds me a car at a repair shop, and that’s essentially what this is, but at a way bigger scale. The plane is 2 stories tall and more than 100 feet long. There’s a staircase to get from the top of the plane to the baggage hold area. Read more…

It had taken a month of work, but Jesse Kinser had finally hit the jackpot. The security researcher had managed to pull off quite a feat — stealing the source code for more than 10,000 different websites, including a big four consulting company — and the ramifications of her find were staggering.

But contrary to many people’s perceptions of shadowy hackers, her next move wasn’t trading the data on the dark web, or crafting exploits to sell to the highest bidder. Rather, she was faced with a different sort of daunting task: developing a responsible disclosure process to notify the thousands of vulnerable companies she’d just pwned. That’s right, after accessing all that code, her next job was to let the victims know exactly how she’d done it — and how they could stop someone with a different set of moral guideposts from doing the same.

How a science program teaches girls to stop doubting themselves

With patience, Emily Cruz detangled a vine with Dorito-shaped leaves from a fallen branch, unwinding it slowly and then pulling it out from the roots.

The 12-year-old and 40 other middle-school girls were working to remove what’s known as mile-a-minute vines recently from New York City’s largest green space as part of a program aimed at encouraging girls to pursue environmental science. Over the years, the fast-growing plant has elbowed its way into Pelham Bay Park in the Bronx, which is more than three times the size of Manhattan’s Central Park Read more…
