[more]Exercise clears the mind. It gets the blood pumping and more oxygen is delivered to the brain. This is familiar territory, but Dartmouth’s David Bucci thinks there is much more going on.
[more]Seven Dartmouth students have received prestigious National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellowships for 2012. The award will support their development as scientists and research into topics ranging from genetics and sea level rise to plant domestication and how creative pursuits change the brain.
[more]Idan Ginsburg, a graduate student in Dartmouth's Department of Physics and Astronomy, studies some of the fastest moving objects in the cosmos. When stars and their orbiting plants wander too close to the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way, their encounter with the black hole’s gravitational force can either capture them or eject them from the galaxy, like a slingshot, at millions of miles per hour.
[more]As an undergraduate at the University of Miami, Lilian Kabeche majored in microbiology and always gravitated towards a career in research. Currently a fourth-year PhD student in Dartmouth’s molecular and cellular biology program, she likens science to a puzzle for which she must not only find the missing pieces, but also “create [her] own pieces.”
