Today: wishing we'd think more about the history and race/class purpose of the SAT when we talk about the SAT. But expecting social scientists to disabuse themselves of the idea of quantifying "innate intelligence" is a fool's errand...

The SAT discourse often ignores results from a decades-long natural experiment by a selective college who did away with the test long ago. The school still found a way to find qualified students AND that lower SAT students did as well as higher SAT folks. tinyurl.com/29d7637y

The Baltimore City Brain Bee is rapidly approaching! In addition to recruiting teenage students to participate, NOVA is looking for volunteers for the event.
