Recognition for Dartmouth faculty, staff, and students
PROFESSOR OF HISTORY AND SAMSON OCCOM PROFESSOR OF NATIVE AMERICAN STUDIES
Colin
Calloway's NEW BOOK, The Shawnees and the War for
America, was reviewed by Greg Sarris in the July 8 issue of the Los
Angeles Times. Calloway's book was reviewed alongside The Cherokee
Nation and the Trail of Tears, by Theda Perdue and Michael D. Green. The
two books are the first in a series on Native Americans edited by Calloway and
published by The New Penguin Library of American Indian History. Sarris wrote,
"The remarkable texturing of the historic period and the description of
responses by early Americans and their leaders (such as presidents Jefferson
and Jackson) set Calloway's book apart from any that might recount the same
story with mere facts and figures ... These two wondrous histories not only
interrogate what we may have understood before and enable us to change how we
think about American Indians—they illuminate our shared histories, Indian and
non-Indian, so that we can't forget."
TWO DARTMOUTH MEDICAL SCHOOL RESEARCHERS HAVE BEEN SELECTED FOR MERIT AWARDS
FROM THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH (NIH), a recognition reserved for
accomplished and successful scientists. Charles Barlowe,
professor of biochemistry and dean of graduate studies for Dartmouth College,
and Ron
Taylor, professor of microbiology and immunology, have each
received the awards, based on "superior competence and outstanding
productivity," according to the NIH. The awards are made to top NIH grant
recipients and are designed to spur creativity with long-term, stable support
of up to 10 years. Barlowe has been at DMS since 1994 and focuses on
intracellular transport, which is essential for cell growth and function.
Taylor joined the DMS faculty in 1993. His work on cholera aims to open new
strategies for improved vaccines and therapies against a disease that is life
threatening and epidemic in countries around the world. Nine other DMS faculty
members have had MERIT awards since 1990.
