In addition to the positive effects of having high grades in itself, being top of the class increases the probability that a student finishes a longer education or gets a higher income later in life. For students at the lower end of the grade distribution, being a bit more highly ranked compared to other students in the school increases the probability of finishing upper secondary school. These are the results of a new dissertation in economics from the Swedish Institute for Social Research (SOFI) at Stockholm University.

Physics provides new perspective on cellular function and evolution

The results, published in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), show that the properties not only provide clues to understanding evolution and adaptation, but also add new dimensions to the established taxonomical classification system.
