In 1925, seven students went 60 hours without sleep--for science

Popular Science

Scientists were out to prove sleep was just a waste of time. Among the students who participated in the sleep deprivation study was the future head of the psychology department at George Washington University. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. The grueling Medical College Admission Test, or MCAT, was first devised in the 1920s by George Washington University professor Frederick August Moss. Originally called the Scholastic Aptitude Test for Medical Students, Moss developed the readiness test as a way to curb high dropout rates in medical schools.

FOX News

Fox News senior medical analyst Dr. Marc Siegel joins'Fox News Live' to discuss the peanut allergy study and his new book, 'The Miracles Among Us.' NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles!

New onset peanut allergy dropped by 43% in kids under 3, Dr. David Hill, M.D., Ph.D., from the Division of Allergy and Immunology at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, told Fox News Digital.


Zohran Annoyed a Lot of New York Public School Parents With This One. But He's Got a Point.

Slate

The many ways we've tried to identify gifted 4-year-olds, and how they've failed. When I was a kindergartner in the 1980s, the "gifted" programming for my class could be found inside of a chest. I don't know what toys and learning materials lived there, since I wasn't one of the handful of presumably more academically advanced kiddos that my kindergarten teacher invited to open the chest. My distinct impression at the time was that my teacher didn't think I was worthy of the enrichment because I frequently spilled my chocolate milk at lunch and I had also once forgotten to hang a sheet of paper on the class easel--instead painting an elaborate and detailed picture on the stand itself. The withering look on my teacher's face after seeing the easel assured me that gifted I was not.
