In the next Miss Teen USA pageant on July 30, contestants will no longer have to participate and be judged in their swimsuits. Instead, they will be judged in an athletic wear category that aims to showcase a woman's "strength, confidence and beauty," according to the organizers.
Susan Solomon, an atmospheric chemist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, led the research which was published on Science journal. Solomon said, "It's a big surprise. I didn't think it would be this early."
