Should universities use differential treatment to admit students?

Futurum

Differential treatment is an example of how economic theories can shape public policies and individual’s opportunities. Regardless of whether differential treatment is considered fair, the efficiency rationale gives researchers and policymakers another way to look at how and why public policies should consider socio-economic factors.

What is Particle Physics? Watch Particle Physicist Claire Malone Discover Undiscovered Particles at Work

Smore Science

I analyze data from the Large Hadron Collider at CERN to search for as-yet undiscovered particles. As a scientist I think it is very important to explain to the public what I am looking at in my research. Hunting for new particles involves analyzing lots of data from a detector at CERN. I am a particle physicist.
