Article about Americans and Science

This was an interview in 2008 between Lynn Steen and Bernie Madison, two who have become known names in numeracy/quantitative reasoning.\nThre's an interesting section toward the end about "quants".

From AAC&U VALUE project to assess learning in higher end choose QL rubric- looks pretty good!
