Study of Exceptional Talent
The Julian C. Stanley Study of Exceptional Talent (SET) is an outgrowth of the Study of Mathematically Precocious Youth (SMPY) at Johns Hopkins University.
 Founded in 1971 by Professor Julian Stanley, SMPY pioneered the concept of above-grade-level testing of middle school students, using the SAT to identify exceptionally talented mathematical reasoners, then offering rigorous academic programs for students who exhibit exceptional reasoning ability.
Johns Hopkins University
The Johns Hopkins University (commonly referred to as Johns Hopkins, JHU, or simply Hopkins) is an American private research university in Baltimore, Maryland.
 Founded in 1876, the university was named for its first benefactor, the American entrepreneur, abolitionist, and philanthropist Johns Hopkins.
 His $7 million bequest—of which half financed the establishment of Johns Hopkins Hospital—was the largest philanthropic gift in the history of the United States at that time.
 Daniel Coit Gilman, who was inaugurated as the institution's first president on February 22, 1876, led the university to revolutionize higher education in the U.S. by integrating teaching and research.
 Adopting the concept of a graduate school from Germany's ancient Heidelberg University, Johns Hopkins University is considered the first research university in the United States.
Benjamin Bloom
Benjamin Samuel Bloom (February 21, 1913 – September 13, 1999) was an American educational psychologist who made contributions to the classification of educational objectives and to the theory of mastery learning.
 He also directed a research team which conducted a major investigation into the development of exceptional talent whose results are relevant to the question of eminence, exceptional achievement, and greatness.
 In 1956, Bloom edited the first volume of "Taxonomy of educational objectives: the classification of educational goals, "which outlined a classification of learning objectives that has come to be known as Bloom's taxonomy and remains a foundational and essential element within the educational community as evidenced in the 1981 survey Significant writings that have influenced the curriculum: 1906-1981, by H.G. Shane and the 1994 yearbook of the National Society for the Study of Education.
 Bloom's 2 Sigma Problem is also named after him. Goldhaber fellows
"Goldhaber fellows" are the recipients of the Gertrude and Maurice Goldhaber Dinstinguished Fellowship.
 The fellowship programs are governed by Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL).
 In 2001, BNL has created the Fellowships Program in honor of Gertrude Goldhaber and Maurice Goldhaber, long-time scientists at the lab.
 The funds of fellowship comes from Battelle Memorial Institute and Stony Brook University, partners in Brookhaven Science Associates.
 Each year, three to four Goldhaber Fellows are chosen from many nominations in all areas of science performed in the lab.
 These prestigious Fellowships are awarded to candidates with exceptional talent and credentials who have a strong desire for independent research at the frontiers of their fields.
 The fellowships are three-year appointments.
 Candidates should be less than three years past receipt of the Ph.D. at the time of the application.
 The intention of the program is to select individuals who will qualify for scientific staff positions at BNL upon completion of the appointment.
 Some Fellows stay on as new BNL scientific staff.
 Some move on to contribute to faculty positions at other institutions around the world. Julian Stanley
Julian Cecil Stanley (July 9, 1918 – August 12, 2005) was an American psychologist, an educator, and an advocate of accelerated education for academically gifted children.
 He founded the Johns Hopkins University Center for Talented Youth (CTY), as well as a related research project, the Study of Mathematically Precocious Youth (SMPY), whose work has, since 1980, been supplemented by the Julian C. Stanley Study of Exceptional Talent (SET), which provides academic assistance to gifted children.
 Stanley was also widely known for his classic book, coauthored with Donald Campbell, on the design of educational and psychological research - "Experimental and Quasi-experimental Designs for Research". Evans County Heart Study
The Evans County Heart Study was a long-term cardiovascular study on residents of Evans County, Georgia.
 The study, which was funded by the National Institute of Health, began in July, 1958, and was last updated as recent as May 2016.
 It resulted in more than 560 published papers that ultimately showed the importance of HDL cholesterol.
 The study was conducted by Dr. Curtis Gordon Hames, a family doctor from Claxton, Georgia.
 The study took place in Evans Country because the area had a high death count due to heart complications, such as heart disease and other cardiovascular diseases.
 The studies showed that there was a significant abundance of heart conditions within a variety of ethnicities.
 People as young as fourteen and as old as seventy-four participated in the tests, and were divided into different age groups; however only males were eligible for the study.
 Anyone as old as one-hundred years old could be eligible, and any younger. Carl Pollock
Carl Arthur Pollock, OC (1903 – August 16, 1978) was a Canadian businessman.
 Born in Kitchener, Ontario, graduated from the University of Toronto in electrical engineering.
 A scholarship from the Massey Foundation financed two years at Oxford University, England.
 At university he showed exceptional talent in track and rowing. Leonid Gorokhov
The Russian cellist Leonid Gorokhov (born 1967 in Saint Petersburg) studied at the St. Petersburg Conservatoire with Anatoli Nikitin and took part in masterclasses with Daniil Shafran.
 Winner of Concertino Praga (First Prize) and Paris Chamber Music Competition (Premier Grand Prix), Leonid Gorokhov is the only Russian cellist to be awarded the Grand Prix and the First Prize of the Geneva Concours (1986).
 In 1995 the European Association for Encouragement of the Arts awarded the Cultural Achievement Prize to Leonid Gorokhov for exceptional talent and outstanding artistic accomplishment. Portraits of American Life Study
The Portraits of American Life Study (abbreviated PALS, originally known as the Panel Study of American Religion and Ethnicity) is a panel study focusing on religion in the United States, particularly as it relates to racial and ethnic diversity.
 The study's first wave of data collection took place in 2006, and surveyed 2,610 people.
 In 2008, the researchers attempted re-contact with the 522 original respondents who attended religious services several times per year despite not being a member of a religious congregation.
 The original 2006 study was led by sociologists Michael Emerson of Rice University and David Sikkink of the University of Notre Dame.
 In 2012, the researchers surveyed exactly the same people they originally surveyed six years earlier.
 The 2012 survey showed that a significantly higher percent of Americans (58%) respected all religions equally than did in the original 2006 survey (one-third).
 In 2016, University of Oklahoma sociologist Samuel Perry analyzed data from the PALS and found that people who watch pornography at least once a week are more likely to be religious six years later.
 A 2013 Brandeis University analysis of the PALS found that people who consider religion important in their lives are more likely to make decisions based on their religion. Abel A. Hunter
Abel Aken Hunter (September 18, 1877 – April 6, 1935) was an American botanist notable for his contributions to science primarily in the collection of the orchids of Panama.
 From 1915-1935, he was a team member on scientifically significant orchid hunting expeditions with many of the collectors and researchers of the day: Charles Powell, George Pring, Carroll Dodge, Julian Steyermark, and Paul Allen.
 He earned his reputation in field work as an outgrowth of his friendship with Charles Powell.
 In a unique period in Panama's history, his first orchid collecting adventure took place with Powell during a fishing trip on the newly man-created Gatun Lake in 1912.
 By 1915, both Hunter and Powell were living and working in Balboa, Panama.
 As a hobby, Powell started an orchid garden.
 Beginning in 1918, the two men would spend leave periods from their employment on extended collecting expeditions: their mission morphing over the years from that of hobby collecting to systematic scientific collecting.
 In 1919, Powell submitted their findings for identification to German botanist Rudolf Schlechter who published, in 1922, "Orchidaceae Powellianae Panamenses", a 95-page study of Powell's Panama orchids—Schlechter naming five of the new to science species to honor Hunter.
