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...

Good catch, Natan; that's an embarrassing oversight on my part, sorry!

Regarding Sufi saints: Lal Shahbaz Qalandar was a notable Sufi saint, and you're right that the first line in the tossup refers to a qawwali about him (there are one or two other less notable saints who also have the name Qalandar, but they're less-frequently invoked). 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. A serous (“SEER-us”) carcinoma called STIC that arises in the stem-like peg cells of these structures may be the true origin of high-grade serous carcinomas of [emphasize] another organ. I...

With regard to the question on Indigenous people since Jon's posted the answerline: I tried to flesh out the answerline to accept the common equivalents the editors could come up with and each of the more specific groups clued in the question, but of course it's possible I may have missed some likel...

Very late to add that I'll be with the CDC in Arlington, VA for the next two years and will be around to help staff any tournaments in the D.C. area.

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...

In lieu of writing a long sappy email to the YSAC panlist, I’m writing a long sappy post about appreciated teammates here: Michał Gerasimiuk impresses me constantly with his deep, rapidly-expanding fine arts and Poland knowledge. Daniel Ma is a great editor and a great Bach (and fine arts) player, a...

Hi all! This is the thread for discussion for BHSAT 2021. I head-edited this set along with Annabelle Yang (myth, fine arts, some religion), Stephen Eltinge (physics, chem, history) Daniel Ma (history), Michael Kearney (history), Daniel Sheinberg (lit), Jaimie Carlson (American & British lit), J...

Since Annabelle and I decided we wanted to apply to edit Regionals together and essentially worked together on many of our questions, we thought it’d be fitting to make a joint post with our thanks and thoughts. We want to give a huge thank you to Jaimie for doing an incredible job captaining the ma...

I had a lot of fun reading the submissions for this tournament, so here’s my (non-exhaustive) list of favorite submissions, some of them for the freshness of content, some because they meshed with my own personal interests, others simply because they amused me. Waterloo A’s endosymbiosis tossup: jus...

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.
