RULE CLARIFICATION AND HELPFUL LINKS

Event Clarifications, Q&As, and Resources:  Any questions regarding clarification of rules must be submitted in writing to sciencefair@admin.nmt.edu.  FAQ link on the National website is also very helpful:  http://www.soinc.org Anatomy/Health Science (B/C): Q: I was perusing the anatomy/physiology page and the section on muscles lists some muscular pathologies. I am unfamiliar with torricellis. I believe it could have been misspelled or misread for torticollis. A: I had never heard of torricellis-- named after Avangelista Torricellis who invented the barometer (and that is why pressure was originally measured in "torr") . However, I agree, I believe the writers were referring to torticollis, neck twisting, and that is what we will follow for the manual. Thank you, Jan Tarr.
