(AP) -- Not even the coronavirus could stop the 30th annual Ig Nobel ceremony, which annually recognizes sometimes dubious but always humorous scientific achievement. The event is usually held live at Harvard University, but Thursday's awards presentation was a virtual prerecorded affair. One winner is an anthropologist who tried to fashion a knife out of frozen human feces. Another is a researcher who found that people who study insects for a living are creeped out by spiders. President Donald Trump and several other world leaders also won Ig Nobels for insisting they're smarter than scientists in dealing with the pandemic. 640

"Saturday Night Live" performer Pete Davidson isn't laughing about the public harassment he's faced during and after his relationship with singer Ariana Grande.On Monday, the comedian took to Instagam to address bullying he's endured for the last nine months, roughly the length of his relationship with former fianceé Grande, which?ended in October."I'm trying to understand how when something happens to a guy the whole entire world just trashes him without any facts or frame of reference," Davidson wrote.The bullying, he said, has occurred both online and in public."I've spoken about BPD and being suicidal publicly only in the hopes that it will help bring awareness and help kids like myself who don't want to be on this earth," he wrote. "I just want you guys to know. No matter how hard the internet or anyone tries to make me kill myself. I won't. I'm upset I even have to say this."Davidson has been open about his mental health struggles in the past, including being diagnosed with borderline personality disorder.His whirlwind romance-turned-engagement with Grande powered the celebrity gossip machine through the summer. They were engaged in June.Davidson has since addressed their breakup on "SNL." Grande, too, talked about their courtship in a song called "Thank U, Next." 1298

(AP) - A coalition of California students and community groups is threatening to sue the University of California system unless it drops the SAT and ACT exams from its admissions requirements, arguing that the tests favor wealthy, white students at the expense of poorer black and Hispanic students.Lawyers representing three students, the Compton Unified School District and several other organizations sent a letter to the system Tuesday threatening to file a lawsuit if it doesn't end an admissions policy requiring applicants to submit standardized test scores among other documents. The coalition says it's giving the system 10 business days to act, or it will file a state lawsuit alleging discrimination based on race, wealth and disability.The letter adds pressure as dozens of U.S. universities move away from reliance on college entrance exams. Over the last year, nearly 50 schools have made SAT and ACT scores optional, joining about 1,000 others that already made the change, according to FairTest, a group that opposes testing requirements and tracks university policies.The fairness of the tests also has come under renewed fire in the wake of a widespread admissions scandal in which wealthy parents are accused of paying bribes to cheat on their children's exams.University of California officials declined to respond to the letter but said the system was already reviewing its use of standardized tests. President Janet Napolitano requested the review in July 2018, the school said, and a faculty group studying the topic is expected to issue recommendations by the end of this school year.The company that operates the ACT said it works diligently to make sure the test is not biased against any group."ACT test results reflect inequities in access and quality of education, shining a light on where they exist. Blaming standardized tests for differences in educational quality and opportunities that exist will not improve educational outcomes," Ed Colby, an ACT spokesman, said in a statement.The College Board , which operates the SAT, also denied any bias."The notion that the SAT is discriminatory is false," the company said in a statement. "Regrettably, this letter contains a number of false assertions and is counterproductive to the fact-based, data driven discussion that students, parents and educators deserve."The groups behind the letter say the SAT and ACT are poor predictors of academic success and instead reflect wealth and race, favoring students whose families can afford tutors and costly test preparation, while adding obstacles for those who can't.They argue that the tests' questions play to the strengths of white students, an idea that some scholars have supported. And they ultimately argue that schools can evaluate applicants just as well by focusing on their grades and letters from teachers or counselors."With SAT and ACT scores removed, UC admissions officers still have everything they need in a student's application file to make a reasoned decision," the letter said. "Omitting these scores can increase the presence of underrepresented minority students in both the applicant pool and the freshman class and thus reap the benefits of diversity for all students."California Gov. Gavin Newsom raised concerns about the SAT and ACT earlier this month when he vetoed a bill that would have allowed districts to use the exams in place of certain state tests.Newsom, a Democrat, wrote that use of the tests "exacerbates the inequities for underrepresented students, given that performance on these tests is highly correlated with race and parental income, and is not the best predictor for college success."Lawyer Mark Rosenbaum, who represents the groups going after the UC system, said the testing requirement is "the iceberg that the recent college admissions scandal was the tip of."In the admissions scandal, authorities alleged that parents paid up to ,000 to rig their children's SAT and ACT scores, in some cases getting them nearly perfect scores.The University of Chicago became one of the most prominent schools to drop testing requirements when it announced last year it would make the SAT and ACT optional. Others that have made the shift include the University of San Francisco, DePauw University and Bucknell University.Most U.S. universities still require the tests, however, along with other application materials. Last year, about 2.1 million students took the SAT, and about 1.9 million took the ACT. 4482
