Women´s sports aren´t something you typically associate with the Islamic Republic of Iran, but one 27-year old Iranian-American woman wants to change that. Having captained the Iranian women´s national soccer team, Katayoun «Katiana» Khosrowyar who moved to Iran at 17, now coaches the national under-14 team as well as holding a seat on the sport´s national oversight board.
In 2005 the number of girls taking part in women´s and girl´s leagues in Iran was zero, since then the sport´s popularity has grown, with four thousand Iranian girls now involved in the soccer.

A recent study published in Science Advances explores the question ‘Why do animal eyes have pupils of different shapes?’. In short – if an animal is a hunter they have round or vertical pupils and, in turn, prey species have horizontal pupils which give them the advantage of a panoramic view to detect predators and to flee across uneven ground. But wait, why do small cats (lynx, bobcats and housecats) have vertical pupils while large cats (pumas, leopards and lions) have round ones? The authors suggest that ambush predators have vertical pupils that determine distance better while round pupils are more useful for cats that chase down their prey.
