Welcome to the Week at Duke in 60 Seconds.

Duke professor Thomas DeFrantz is part of a new exhibit at the Detroit Institute of Art. The multimedia exhibit displays life-sized videos of performers and visual artwork inspired by dance, and will later be shown in Denver and Little Rock.

A new Duke study used habitat mapping software and satellite images to predict the location of Peru’s endangered San Martin titi monkeys, one of the most endangered primates in the world.

To celebrate the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death, members of the Duke community went outside on a sunny spring day for a marathon reading of his sonnets.

Finally, students, staff and Durham residents planted 16 trees recently to celebrate Duke’s eighth consecutive “Tree Campus USA” designation, which honors Duke’s commitment to sustainability and tree care program.
