As part of our on-going departmental evaluation process we are considering

Aha! here we go again defining genius and intelligence along the
Eurocentric model.
There are many geniuses among Black and Hispanic children that were missed
by Terman,G.Stanley Hall,Anastasi,Thurstone and their associated

In my last post, I included a garbled reference to Srinivasa
Ramanujan, (1887-1920), the untutored Indian mathematics genius who
died because he couldn't stomach British food. This is how his name is
really spelled.

'Tis true, 'tis true. When I went on the patch I had the most remarkable
dreams including one fascinating, lucid dream that I still remember. In
retrospect, it's not at all surprising. We've long known that cholinergic

When I was a child I had warts on my hands. My father took me over to see a
family friend, Uncle Rudy, who was also a plastic surgeon. Uncle Rudy put a
band aid on the warts and on the gauze of the ban aid was a yellow
