A week's worth of campus news delivered in a minute.
One day at Duke. This Friday -- April 19 -- you can contribute to Duke's next TV commercial. Just capture a "Duke moment" in words, video or photo and submit it to the One Day at Duke website.
We have a winner. Engineering student Matt Pleatman and his team won the $50,000 grand prize in this year’s Start-Up Challenge for their idea of an all-in-one contact-lens-case-and-solution-carrier that fits into a wallet.
In a series of papers in the journal Science, Duke professor Steven Churchill analyzes recently discovered bones of the proto-human specimen Australopithecus sediba.
Listen up for big ideas. The TEDxDuke event April 20 features short talks by students, faculty and staff on "ideas worth spreading."
Congratulations to Patrick Oathout and Jacob Tobia. The juniors were named Truman Scholars. And fellow juniors Kushal Seetharam and Yaohua Xue were awarded Goldwater Scholarships.
Finally, we hope all the alumni who came back for reunions last weekend had a blast.
