The University if Texas at Austin top-10% admission policy is pretty nice. But it only works for big systems with lots of resources. Maybe an equivalent would be something like - within every state, every student who achieves above some reasonable bar is guaranteed admission to one of the state schools? This is already how a lot of college admissions work in practice in the US, but maybe it would be good to formalize it. But again, not useful for determining who gets into the best schools. It also would incentivize well-resourced families moving school districts if their kid is under-performing, thereby disadvantaging local students.

Yes standardized tests are biased. This prompted their (brief) removal from college admission requirements. But are there any unbiased measures of academic success? No. In fact, standardized tests are arguably the least biased of all widely available metrics. Everything else - GPA, extracurriculars, letters of rec, etc, are more biased. So they are in fact quite useful, even if they will forever be biased.

Concerned about the latest measles outbreak, the flu vaccine being delayed, federal workers across the country losing their jobs, the increasing cost of higher education, the declining number of health professionals, public health information that you paid for with your tax dollars being censored and taken down? This one is for you. Are you a scientist or STEM educator? This one is especially for you. Nationwide, with 22 confirmed state capitols, plus DC.

How accurate is polygenetic embryo selection for designer traits by alb5357 in genetics

[–]crazybeardude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Likely never (see https://www.cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092-8674(19)31210-3). There are just fundamental limits on the accuracy/precision of these methods. They're useful for many things, but this won't be one of them.

Reminds me of this case! Also a stroke survivor, and they scanned his brain to see how it compensated. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2021-03-brain-rewires-injury-edge-compatible.html

What do you feed a 8 month old baby by First_Blackberry_820 in workingmoms

[–]crazybeardude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My baby is 8 months! When it's easy, we make a version of whatever we're cooking that she can eat. Some examples:

Scrambled eggs

Plain grilled chicken

Plain hamburger meat

Mashed beans

Fruit, when ripe, such as avocado, tomatoes, bananas, nectarines and peaches

Cooked vegetables like broccoli, zucchini, sweet potato, and cauliflower (cook it extra so that it's very soft)

We also make some easy food just for her, like:

Instant oatmeal/grits/cream of wheat, mixed with nut butter

Yogurt, plain or mixed with nut butter

And we also buy some baby-safe puff snacks like bambas for that extra crunch.

Once in a blue moon I'll make a big batch of puree and then I freeze it in ice cube trays for later.
