Lack of ability does not explain women's decisions to opt out of math-intensive science careers
Women don't choose careers in math-intensive fields, such as computer science, physics, technology, engineering, chemistry, and higher mathematics, because they want the flexibility to raise children, or because they prefer other fields of science that are less math-intensive--not because they lack mathematical ability, according to a new study. view more (2009-03-03)

For teachers, reading not maths equals intelligence
A teacher's opinion about a child's intelligence strongly affects how the child thinks about himself or herself. However, psychologists have found that teachers' judgements are based more on a child's spelling and verbal ability than on how good the child is at mathematics. Professor Terezinha Nunes of Oxford Brookes University and Dr. Ursula... view more... (2000-09-12)
Models play important role in understanding extreme weather
Weather is a hot topic here in Interior Alaska and a quick way to get anyone talking. Not a day goes by in winter months without some observations of temperatures, air inversions, or even a mention that the sun budged another degree above the horizon. view more (2007-03-29)
After years of toil, sustaining change in education still a vexing problem
Researchers in the Center for Elementary Mathematics and Science Education (CEMSE) this year finished poring over more than 65,000 abstracts and nearly 600 full-text articles for insights regarding how to make lasting change in the literature of education, health, marketing, business and economics. view more (2009-09-14)
Twins, genetics and intelligence
It doesn't make psychological sense to pin human intelligence down into a single factor, so called 'general intelligence' which is supposedly highly heritable. This finding is presented today, Friday 7 September, by Dr Sarah Norgate, Centre for Childhood, Development and Learning at The Open University; Professor Steven Rose, Department of... view more...
