The Monell Chemical Senses Center and the A*STAR Singapore Institute of Food and Biotechnology Innovation are about to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to promote academic cooperation and exchange in education and research, with the vision of creating a healthier world by unlocking the mysteries of our senses. The MOU provides a framework to explore research that benefits both academic and industry science, including engaging in joint science and shared scientific publications, joint funding opportunities, and exchange of scientists and staff for training. 

The study asks nearly 1800 children which notable people in computing they are aware of.

In a paper published today in American Educational Research Association Open, Sean Darling-Hammond, a UC Berkeley Assistant Professor, and Eric Ho, a statistician at the U.S. Department of Education, lay out the case that Black students across the country in K-12 education are experiencing scholastic punishment far more often than their peers. By looking across many types of punishment, student subpopulations, measures of disparity, and comparison groups, the authors arrive at the conclusion that, as the article title states, “No matter how you slice it, Black students are punished more.” They also find that while disparities are widespread, they are larger in some contexts than one might expect.
