  • Did Mark Zuckerberg's Inspiration for Facebook Come Before Harvard?
    Interestingly, the stories we hear these days about Zuckerberg in popular media tend to follow a common sensationalist pattern: "super-smart kid invents a tech phenomenon from his Harvard dorm room, drops out, and changes the world." What's most intriguing about the Zuckerberg story we all know, however, isn't that he dropped out of Harvard and became a billionaire at 23. By now, we are all familiar with Mark Zuckerberg's success story. The explosive international growth of Facebook to over 200 million users continues to land the young founder and CEO in top news stories worldwide.

  • Why MIT Students Can't Write and Harvard Students Can't Count
    An MIT PhD engineer dad was recounting an old saw about how MIT students can't write and Harvard students can't count and it made me chuckle because I am a Harvard grad who counts on her fingers. Like the old MIT-Harvard rivalry, there's often a cortical battle for resources between spatial and verbal / visual "picture" thinking. If you look at the SAT subtest scores of MIT and Harvard students (25th percentile listed here - because 75th percentile was clustered at 800), MIT students are indeed weakest at reading and writing (not surprising you find many dyslexic engineers,
