National Geographic and Mattel to release line of STEM-related Barbies

Posted February 18, 2019 4:30 PM by lmno24

Mattel, the maker of Barbie, will release a few new dolls with STEM-related jobs including marine biologist and astrophysicist.

Here's the full story.

	Does this mean that "Divorced Barbie" now comes with the Intellectual Rights to Ken's discoveries, as well as Ken's house, Ken's car, Ken's boat, and Ken's Jet-ski. Marum.(Die schachspielen Katze) __________________ Marum
