NEPC Review: Testing Theories of Why: Four Keys to Interpreting US Student Achievement Trends (American Enterprise Institute, January 2025)
Full text linkA report examines long-term patterns in student performance using data from national and international assessments. It identifies four key trends: Performance peaked in the early 2010s before declining, lower-performing students saw the steepest drops, U.S. achievement gaps are widening more than in other countries, and similar declines appear in adult literacy and numeracy. The report challenges assumptions about performance declines but overlooks key data, uncertainty, and causal research. While it highlights important trends, its analysis lacks depth, offering insights without fully explaining their causes.</p
Career Perspectives Beyond The Degree: A Case Study
Full text linkObtaining a full-time academic position has traditionally been the main career objective for graduates in piano pedagogy and performance. Many students begin a Master of Music (MM) or Doctorate of Musical Arts (DMA) program with the expectation that their degrees will lead directly to such roles. However, the academic job market is now highly competitive, with hundreds of qualified candidates vying for a limited number of positions. Even with strong qualifications and a willingness to relocate, many graduates spend years navigating application cycles without success. This intense competition and the uncertain prospects for traditional academic roles have begun to shift perceptions within the field. Students and professors are increasingly recognizing that a successful career in music does not necessarily fit a single, often academic model. Many other career paths in music exist as fulfilling, viable options for graduates.
This project explores various careers in music outside of academia, performance, and individual private teaching among graduates of MM and DMA programs in piano pedagogy, piano performance, and collaborative piano. By conducting a case study of ten individuals with graduate degrees in these fields who have forged music-related careers outside academia and other traditional paths, this research aims to give students and recent graduates personal insights from each participant. Participants have been selected from a range of careers including music technology, arts administration, entrepreneurial ventures in non-traditional studio teaching, nonprofit leadership, and others. Through these individual perspectives, this project will give examples of how music graduates are leveraging the skills gained in their graduate degrees to achieve success in diverse careers.
The findings will be valuable for current and prospective graduate students, educators, and career advisors in music fields, as they highlight adaptable career paths that align with the current professional landscape. This study contributes to a growing conversation about redefining success in the field of music and encourages students to consider a variety of factors that contribute to a successful and enjoyable career.</p
Zinc’s impact on triple-negative breast cancer: investigating cell viability and apoptosis
Full text linkZinc has been shown to play a major role in maintaining the health of a living organism throughproper enzymatic function, growth and development, and gene regulation. However, untilrecently there was little information on the effects of zinc on apoptosis in epithelial breast cells.Results from the live/dead assays performed on two TNBC cell lines (MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-157) compared to a healthy epithelial breast cell line (MCF10A) provided importantfindings with respect to the viability of TNBC cell lines when treated in zinc-deficientconditions. Interested in the mechanism of cell death observed from the live/dead assay resultson the MDA-MB-231 cells treated to zinc-deficient conditions and MCF10A cells treated tozinc-rich conditions, apoptosis assays were performed on these cells following similar zinctreatments. Although further optimization of the assay is required, current data providesimportant insight into the mechanism of death observed in these cell lines. Overall, the live/deadand apoptosis assays suggest that TNBCs have a strong dependency on zinc, and without it, theybecome both necrotic and apoptotic, whereas zinc-rich conditions induce mainly apoptosis inhealthy epithelial breast cells.</p
A Trojan Horse in Congress: Publicly Elected Officials Use the Stock Market for Personal Gain
Full text link
Members of the United States Congress are elected to serve the public good, yet many simultaneously maintain substantial portfolios of individual stocks. While legislative transparency laws such as the STOCK Act are designed to discourage insider trading and bolster public trust, questions remain about the extent to which members personally benefit from privileged information or exploit weak enforcement. In this research, I draw on data from Quiver Quantitative and the Center for Effective Lawmaking to empirically examine what types of members are more likely to actively trade stocks and what types are more likely to earn returns that beat market averages. My findings show that net worth and electoral vulnerability play significant roles in predicting members’ trade volume, but not trade performance. The ten wealthiest members by net worth trade significantly more than their congressional peers, and those in tighter races are associated with greater returns in excess market averages. These findings raise new concerns about how personal financial incentives may shape legislative behavior and challenge the ideal of selfless public service. By combining congressional trading data with institutional, ideological, and electoral characteristics, this research offers a new type of analysis of congressional stock trading activity. </p
Look It Up in Your Program: The Conversion of Audience into Participant in Contemporary American Musical Theater
Full text link Live performance is a constantly evolving mode of discourse, shifting and changing to meet the needs of the show being performed. In recent years, live theatrical performances have begun to explore unique interactional spaces, blurring the lines between performer, character, and audience through various means of engagement and audience participation. But why? What is the benefit of engaging the audience in this way? What does it do to the audience?
This paper will examine three different ways contemporary American musicals pull audiences into the fiction of the story, converting them from observers to participants. Starting with the method which focuses on immersion of specific audience members into the fiction and concluding with method which gives the audience control over the ending of the show, I will examine the use of spoken dialogue tags, direct interaction with the audience, and the audience determining who dies at the end of the story. With the help of these methods, the performances are able to turn passive audiences into active participants, in turn creating a more immersive and engaging experience, and form stories which put the audience in a position to find power within the performance.</p
