The SAT gives a huge advantage to the already privileged. If we want equity, we need to drop it altogether. What will we use instead? Well, you could start by asking applicants whether they know a congressman/senator willing to write them a rec. Or a scientist they interned for?

For Oregon cheesemakers, most of whom are smaller producers, it's hard to know how to market and present their products. A recent study of hundreds of #cheese-lovers sheds light on consumer habits. 🧀

For those interested, read the full paper at https://t.co/sWUzu7x3VI. This was a great project from an interdisciplinary team, including Sara Maruyama, Susan Queisser, Sheri Cole, Alina N. Stelick, Juyun Lim. And me=)

So what happens to rare varieties of specialty food when tasting or personal recommendations are unavailable? Here we look at artisanal cheese and consumer preference around familiar and less known cheese varieties (think cheddar vs cantal) https://t.co/sWUzu7x3VI

[Nadia Streletskaya @NadiaStreletsk]

For these novelty-seekers, new varieties are associated with higher maximum willingness-to-pay (WTP) for cheese wedges, and award stickers are more important in decision-making than sensory descriptions.

@NMaynardPhD I usually treat take-home exams as a way to incentivize thinking about issues more broadly than a highly time constrained test would allow. If instead the students learn how to use a chat bot to answer the questions, the benefit of take home is minimal, as measured by my goal.

[Nadia Streletskaya @NadiaStreletsk]

Reading this just as I committed to designing a take home exam for next week. AI and essays.

There's no such thing as "not a math person." On the cultural factors, misconceptions, stereotypes, & studies about obstacles that turn people off to math. 1/

@ijalonr @Momademia I have added infants to the flight myself. It doesn’t matter who books it, as long as you know the reservation number and your details. Good luck, the lab reaction is unacceptable.
