which deemed posts like these as potentially unprofessional. >> i don't feel that because i have doctor in front of my name that should hold me to a different social media standard. >> reporter: prove lens -- prevalence of unprofessional social media content among young vascular surgeons, the study looked at the social media accounts of nearly 500 young surgery trainees. male and female. and concluded more than one-quarter of the accounts contained, quote, unprofessional content like images holding alcoholic beverages and inappropriate attire in photos. like people in their underwear, provocative halloween costumes and provocative poses in bikinis or swimwear. 26-year-old london robinson said she was outraged by the study starting that med bikini hashtag. >> i'm pleasantly pleased with how it took off. this visceral reaction of social media to come together as a med professional unit and say, we are very sick of primarily white men framing how we can and cannot act.

center. a spokesperson says the paper was ill-conceived, poorly executed and reinforces biases about professionalism and gender. >> the world is changing. you know, we're seeing that happen in realtime, and i think that it will get better. >> reporter: now, the editors of the journal "vascular surgery" apologized, quote, to every person who has communicated the sadness, anger and disappointment caused by this article. we have received an outpouring of constructive commentary on this matter, and we intend to take each point seriously. if you have any friends in the medical community you likely saw this hashtag in your feed overnight. back to you guys. >> it's a good reminder, for our little girls, as well, you can be both beautiful and intelligent. those two things can exist in one person. >> married to a beautiful, intelligent doctor myself. having a mother in the profession, it is a male dominated profession, not always a kind place to females. let's check in with rob marciano, who is keeping a check of the weather for us this weekend. hey, rob. >> hi, eva. on that note we have a number of

so should you speed up retirement or put it on hold, is the question many americans are aski. take a look. >> reporter: the pandemic has put our day to day lives on hold, and now some americans are faced with one of the most difficult career decisions. retirement. about 30% of employed investors say it's very or somewhat likely that they will delay the age at which they retire. tina willis, a lawyer, was planning to transition to a part-time schedule at the end of the year, but a pan demic put her plans on hold. >> it was just sort of planning a vacation that gets canceled. i mean that's how it feels. we were kind of planning on that one last, you know, full year of income before i started just cutting back to part time. >> reporter: some americans are using the pandemic to kick start retirement early like deandra valentine, who had long-term goals but is now rethinking her plan. >> we are basically not doing any business. it appears that we won't have

any business probably until middle to late 2021. we're just looking at our options to see going from two-income family to one income. >> reporter: but still a sense of optimism. >> if it's that point in our lives that we have to retire and allow other people to come into the workforce, then maybe it might be a good time for us to take a second seat. >> joining us now, mr. wonderful himself, "shark tank's" kevin o'leary. kevin, nice to see you on a saturday morning. >> great to be here, thank you. >> so what do we need to know if we're considering putting retirement off? >> the key thing about retirement whether you're putting it on or off is not to talk about it with your employer until you've made a decision. things change. you heard tina talking about her decision as a lawyer. you don't want that law firm knowing that she's considering checking out. it changes her status within the organization. also, you should prepare yourself to reduce your lifestyle from anywhere from 20% to 30%.

that's how you get ready to retire, even when considering it. >> any other things we should do to prepare if we want to kick-start an early retirement? >> absolutely. you know, what happens in retirement, obviously, is you've got to have a plan to have something tying up your brain. you want to be busy. and so a lot of people go into retirement without thinking through what their strategy is. they're working one day and they're just looking at a blank wall the next. that is a bad plan. you have to have retirement plans, like travel, which isn't happening now, or catch up on reading. make you have hobbies but should take out 90 days of your expenditure costs in cash. because you are going to have to reduce your lifestyle in retirement. you're on a fixed income at that point. >> what is mr. wonderful going to do in retirement? >> well, the whole world is digitizing. in retirement i'd like to stay busy, so i'm learning all about social media and becoming a videographer and a photographer. every business out there is trying to hire more people to tell their story direct to their

customer. that's what's happening as a result of the pandemic in the united states and also happening all around the word. if you want a part-time hustle become a videographer or photographer or learn how to use social media to tell stories. >> i love it. >> got a plan. >> put that in my back pocket as well. kevin, thank you very much. really appreciate it. let's switch gears and get over to rob, who is in texas, covering what has been upgraded to a hurricane, i believe. >> reporter: hurricane hanna. dan, the weather is getting frisky here to say the least, but one of three named storms happening right now. let's show them to you, gonzalo out in the caribbean. that's the least of our worries at this point. douglas, that's something to be reckoned with. at one point a category 4 storm. now a cat 2 heading toward hawaii and hurricane watches up for oahu. that's where it will make its closest pass tomorrow afternoon. we could see enough winds to take down power lines, and certainly flash flooding because of the heavy rain there. hanna, a hurricane as you

mentioned. hundred warnin hurricane warnings posted for this area. tropical storm warnings from galveston all the way down to brownsville. as this thing comes onshore, 60, 70, 80 mile we are pour winds. certainly wind damage and some water damage with storm surges good saturday morning. it's a clear start. here's walnut creek this morning. temperatures will climb quicker today as we get less of a sea breeze and that fog erodes to it close, near 90 inland, upupupupp all the while heat is building in the northwest. the central plains and the northeast. nice and kind of cool right here. aren't you jealous? >> not jealous at all, rob. and in large part because we have cake in the studio this morning. be safe out there, definitely. >> nice work. talking about this trend alert, the web is convinced lately that everything is cake.

and there's some pretty extraordinary desserts playing tricks on the eyes, and we wanted in on the action. take a look. >> reporter: what do crocs, chicken legs, and toilet paper have in common? all edible optical illusions from plants to appliances. everyday items are actually hyper-realistic replicas when you slice them open. everything is cake. >> these cakes are really enchanting because they just blow our mind. so incredible, beautifully realistic on the outside but tasty, luscious perfect dessert on the inside. >> reporter: how is it done? chef benny rivera showing us how he turned these simple sweets into a meaty treat. >> you have to start with good cake and good filling so you can actually manipulate it. >> reporter: once your cake is shaped, the devil is in the details. >> indentations and textures and highlights, colors. it's all of those little things

that come together that are going to make your cake look like the actual object. >> reporter: once the buns are done, it's time to prepare the patty. like any real burger, chef benny's cake would be incomplete without a slice of cheese and condiments to top. a few extra tender treats to snack on the side never hurt. just like that, a beautiful burger and a mind-blowing cake. >> if you can bake a tasty cake, you can turn it into one of these edible art creations. >> i think you guys -- >> she's got the knife. >> i got the knife. we have our own very realistic looking cake. >> it's an incredible looking cake. >> i'm not going to get my hands anywhere near it. it's actually pretty tricky because it's thick. it's very thick. i'm trying not to cut it. >> we're hungry over there. >> no pressure. >> you have to have strength. >> hurry up, though. >> while you're at it i'll break into one of these chicken fingers. is that what that is? >> that's cake too. >> i'm trying to get it apart.
