The decades out-of-date genetics taught in most U.S. schools stokes misconceptions about race and human diversity. A biological anthropologist calls for change. ✽ On a lengthy bus ride in the early 1970s, University of Chicago geneticist Richard Lewontin passed the time by doing some novel math.

Latino children make up one of the fastest-growing demographics in K-12 education. Yet few are likely to grow up and establish careers in technology. For them, there’s obviously a leak somewhere in the school-to-jobs pipeline. Just one in 10 tech workers are Latino, and while Latino college students are choosing STEM fields in college more frequently , they earn only about 12 percent of undergraduate degrees awarded in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

Rural young people who aspire to a higher education have long had fewer choices than their urban and suburban counterparts, contributing to far lower rates of college-going. Now many of the universities that serve them are eliminating large numbers of programs and majors. That means the already limited number of options available to rural students are being squeezed even further, forcing them to travel even greater distances to college than they already do or give up on it altogether.

My colleagues, friends and family often praise my relentless pursuit of excellence, especially in my teaching career. But what they don’t always see is the weight behind that drive — the pressure I feel to prove myself and the deep sense of responsibility I feel to create systemic change for my students. Even after surpassing many of my professional goals, an unsettling feeling lingers — a persistent voice telling me that it’s still not enough.

I sadly won't be able to attend the SAGT Conference this year as I shall be just back from a trip to Iceland and preparing for a trip to Cologne, but the lineup and theme (and also the new venue) look awesome. If you haven't been before this is an excellent little conference. Accessible from the North of England. It's the first time it's been held in Ayrshire.
