CHP Professor Christen Cupples Cooper discusses cooking techniques for veterans and enthusiasts:

“Cooking meats above 300°F, which usually results from grilling or pan frying, can form compounds called HCAs (heterocyclic amines) and PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) that may be harmful to human DNA.” While these findings require further research, Cooper explains that high temperatures may activate certain enzymes and increase cancer risk. She then has these pieces of advice: “Avoid cooking foods for any length of time over an open flame or hot metal surface, turn meat frequently during cooking, and cut away charred portions of meat.”

Professor Claudia Li speaks with South China Morning Post about Asian-Americans having mixed views on the use of race in college admissions:

Chunyan Li, a professor at Pace University in New York and board member of the non-profit Asian American Coalition for Education, described how SFFA’s data models have led to students of Chinese heritage trying to obscure their backgrounds and de-emphasise their pursuit of stereotypically Asian activities like math competitions. As an educator and immigrant, Li said that she valued classroom diversity – particularly “diversity of thought” – but that interventions to address racial disparities should happen earlier, not at the college level.
