      <title>Feature: Experiments in Evolution</title>
      <link>http://now.dartmouth.edu/2010/05/researchers-use-entire-islands-in-the-bahamas-to-test-survival-of-the-fittest</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Competition trumps predation when it comes to survival of the fittest lizard. That's the conclusion drawn by Ryan Calsbeek, assistant professor of biology, and co-author Robert Cox, a postdoctoral researcher, in a study by the journal Nature. Their research was remarkable in its scope, using entire islands as experimental laboratories. Calsbeek and Cox discuss their research in this podcast.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA["When things move, things change," argues Silvia Spitta, professor of Spanish and comparative literature, in her latest book, Misplaced Objects. The history of the Virgin of Guadalupe and how this religious icon has contributed to the Latinization of the United States offers one example, which she discusses in this podcast.]]></description>

      <title>What to Say?</title>
      <link>http://www.tuck.dartmouth.edu/today/ideas/argenti.html</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Paul Argenti, professor of corporate communications, turns his attention to understanding what social media, a never-ending news cycle, and expectations of engagement mean for how businesses connect with their customers and others. "The new rule," he says, "is that, in a world of scrutiny and mistrust, everything communicates and communications affects everything."]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Consumers who turn to corporate websites for information on prescription drugs, says Lewis Glinert, professor of linguistics, will find one thing for certain: inconsistency. His research shows that such sites lack the consistency and balance found in other forms of drug advertising regulated by the FDA.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Bridget Coggins, assistant professor of government, explores the costs and consequences of modern piracy, in the July/August 2010 issue of Foreign Policy. "Today's pirates are maddeningly difficult to stop," she writes; "They ply their trade in the world's ungoverned spaces, relying on corrupt and compliant officials to look the other way."]]></description>

      <title>Feature: Dartmouth Professor finds that iconic Oswald photo was not faked</title>
      <link>http://www.dartmouth.edu/~news/releases/2009/11/05.html</link>
      <description><![CDATA[It is one of the iconic images from American history: accused John F. Kennedy assassin Lee Harvey Oswald, holding a rifle and Marxist newspapers. Oswald and others claimed that the incriminating photo was a fake. But after analyzing the photo with modern-day forensic tools, Dartmouth computer scientist Hany Farid says the photo almost certainly was not altered. "Those who believe that there was a broader conspiracy can no longer point to this photo as possible evidence," Farid says.]]></description>

      <title>Pay to play</title>
      <link>http://www.tuck.dartmouth.edu/today/ideas/french.html</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Investor behavior has long been at odds with investor wisdom. Most investors chase potential profits by actively buying and selling stocks—or by hiring someone else to do it for them—although trading costs and management fees significantly reduce their net returns. Research by Tuck School of Business Professor Kenneth R. French quantifies the costs of such active investing and provides strong evidence that a passive approach is better for most investors.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Nuclear deterrence may become far harder in the coming decades, argues Government Daryl G. Press in a paper published Foreign Affairs magazine. Deterring nuclear attacks during peacetime is a relatively simple mission, Press says, but preventing nuclear escalation during a conventional war among nuclear-armed states is a far more difficult challenge.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Want to know how crickets choose mates? Well, listen closely next time you're outside on a night when they're singing. Very closely. It took Dartmouth biologist Laurel Symes years of listening — and recording — to figure out that different species of cricket have different calls. Listen to a National Public Radio interview with Symes – and the crickets – on her research.]]></description>

      <link>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IdSkToT5NE</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Dartmouth has a legacy of training individuals committed to working on global health from a variety of vantage points, from policy and clinical work to laboratory and research efforts. Now, Dartmouth Medical School and the Dickey Center for International Understanding are expanding the Global Health Initiative at Dartmouth. "The strength of the Global Health Initiative is its multidisciplinary approach," says Kenneth Yalowitz, director of the Dickey Center. "By expanding our programs, we ensure that we sustain [that legacy]."]]></description>

Dartmouth's Tiltfactor Laboratory explores ways to use diverse design approaches to appeal to a wide range of players and learners. Tiltfactor staff are interested in playculture–how play permeates everyday actions and routines–and seeks ways to infuse playfulness into common interactions.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA["I don't know of any other environment quite like this on Earth," says Jill Mikucki, visiting fellow at Dartmouth's Institute of Arctic Studies and a research associate in Earth Sciences. She's talking about a reservoir of briny liquid buried deep beneath an Antarctic glacier that supports hardy microbes that have lived in isolation for millions of years. A research team from Dartmouth and Harvard found the microbes have eked out a living by breathing iron leached from bedrock. Mikucki was lead author of a report on the research in the journal Science.]]></description>
