Re: Book Suggestions

If you're looking for a lengthy read to get invested in, I recommend Campbell Biology by Jane B. Reece et al. The masterful pacing and suspense, as information is gradually revealed, keeps the story intriguing for all 1284 pages. Though the book delves into a variety of deep, complex themes, it's st...

Re: 2020-21 Science Olympiad Midseason Poll

I know this discussion isn't particularly productive, but I just want to remind people not to take the opinions of 12 respondents ranking teams they can't possibly all be familiar with, from the results of online invitationals whose participation was far from universal, as definitive to any degree.

Re: 2020-21 Science Olympiad Midseason Poll

LOL no one even voted for Ladue HS... I feel like we'd have a very good chance of being top 25, and Pembroke Hill definitely hasn't been better than us since 2019, from my more familiar knowledge of Missouri teams. Of course, with no real non-nationals benchmarks with which to compare teams from dif...
