Enlightenment to the masses – in any way, even in this way

Naked Italian women are interested in science

In the Italian blogosphere, the resource Aunt per la Scienza ("Breasts for Science") has earned.

As part of this educational project, girls post their photos (in underwear or without it), accompanied by a sign where a certain scientific fact is reported.



"47 percent of Italians are functionally illiterate"

This is reported by the local multilingual publication The Local (Italians post breast selfies 'for science').


"There are more water molecules in a cup of tea than there are stars in the observable part of the universe"

Lara Tait, a paleoanthropologist by profession (now working as a web marketer), founded the blog so that women could bring scientific discoveries and truths to the general public with the help of their bodies.


"Man and his immediate ancestors are omnivorous animals"

The participants hold a sign with a short statement (on various topics: creationism, gluten, vaccination, autism, biodiversity, the age of the universe), and at the bottom of the post a detailed explanation is given with a link to a scientific article. The motto of the project is "where the mind does not work, breasts have a chance."


"Vegetable protein does not have the same biological value as animal protein"

The blog posted on the Tumblr service has gained more than 19 thousand "likes" on Facebook. Recently, despite the name of the project, more and more photos are being sent by men. In November, many images were posted with the hashtag #iostoconrosetta ("I'm with Rosetta"): so the Italians expressed their support for the mission of the European Space Agency to land the Philae probe on the surface of the comet.
