🚨New paper alert!🚨

Women are less likely to enter competitions than menβ€”even when equally qualified. But telling them this can change behavior.

"I have an uneasy feeling, for instance, that if the computer had been around at the time of Copernicus, nobody would have bothered with him, because the computers could have handled the Ptolemaic epicycles with perfect ease"

Cambridge Bike Give Back is great and Lonnell is a fantastic founder. I was happy to see my much loved (but no longer needed) mountain bike find a new and better home through him.

Everyone wants extra time. Everyone thinks it gives an advantage. But that's just not how it works. Instead, we need inclusive assessment, based on principles of universal design for learning.
