Re: 2023 ACF Nationals Discussion and Thanks
If you’d told me four years ago that I’d be two years out of college editing ACF Nationals, I would not have believed you; somehow, here I am anyways. Working on Nationals has been incredible, so I wanted to take the chance to thank all the people who made it so and briefly touch on the thought proc...

Qalandar is, however, just a g...

Glad to hear you liked the heritability tossup, Paul—I want to shout out UMN B for submitting that question, which was well-constructed and I didn't change very much at all. Regarding the question on Indigenous Americans, here's the text of the question: Laura Arbour’s research with a group of these...

Here's the text of the Fallopian tubes tossup: These structures are the most common location of Walthard nests.

I get that this is supposed to be funny, y'all, I really do, but don't you think it's maybe potentially just a touch mean-spirited to rip on BHSAT—which in the last two years has notably been written and edited by a bunch of younger, largely inexperienced people—from your positions as well-respected...

Hi all,
In light of recent events, the remaining two in-person mirrors of BHSAT, to be held at Case Western Reserve University on 03/28 and at UCSD on 4/25 have been cancelled. That said, the online BHSAT mirror (whose forums post is linked here) will be held on the DIscord on Sunday, April 5.
