Female lecturers are often branded nerdy and conservative in their approach generally to life with scant or no regard for fashion and elegance. Fashion and scholarship are often seen as mutually exclusive. With time however, some of the libertarians among the horde of academics crept away from their shell to look better than their peers. even with this paradigm shift, many of them were branded "whores" and not real scholars. however, a documentary vide an investigation by a Chinese media outlet has released eye-catching pictures of young, fashionable, female lecturers who have taken the academic world by storm with their combination of beauty and brain thereby demystifying the long held belief that both are mutually exclusive. below are excerpts from the Daily Mail detailing the forays made by these ladies dubbed 'goddesses" by their students who are awe-struck.

These teachers were selected by their school to represent a generation of young lectures to the public. 

A teacher surnamed Xu, who is charge of the school's social media publicity, told MailOnline that the teachers were chosen based on their academic achievements, popularity as well as their appearances.

Xu said: 'Because we're a teachers' college. Our students will be teachers in the future. We wanted these lectures to be their examples and to show them what they could become.'

Their pictures were shared in two posts on the university's account on WeChat, a Chinese social media app, on May 7 and September 19.

Some users said these teachers made them want to go back to school again. A user called 'Snake' said: 'If I were still studying, I would surely work harder.'

However, there were also people arguing that their teaching skills should be more important. 

'Ba shan shu shui' is one of them who wrote: 'It's no use to say they are pretty. The key is if they know how to teach and if they teach hard.'
