By Peter Charalambous | March 30, 2017

The Geisel School of Medicine improved its ranking in the recently released 2018 U.S. News and World Report’s list of the “Best Medical Schools.” The rankings, which were released on March 14, placed Geisel as 27th in primary care and 35th in research, an increase from last year’s rankings of 45th and 40th, respectively. In an email, interim dean of Geisel Duane Compton called this year’s rankings “gratifying.” The 2018 rankings mark an improvement for Geisel, which has dipped in rankings since 2013, when it peaked at 31st in research.

Chemistry lab develops electronic toxic gas sensor

By Paulomi Rao | March 30, 2017

An expert on nanomaterials, Mirica found in previous work that there was no single technology available to detect and monitor the chemical identity of gases harmful to the environment or humans.

By Elise Wien | March 29, 2017

I’ve just received 12 teeth from a friend of mine. I needed one or two to use as props, then it came up in casual conversation that this friend never lost any of her baby teeth, that she had to go to the dentist to get them all pulled, and that she still had them in her posession.

Guo: A hat is not a hat

By Clara Guo | March 29, 2017

First Floor Stairs I dangle several feet off of a cliff — a jagged cliff, painted in the deceptive neutrality of browns and yellows. I hold on by a string of yarn, boasting of once-vibrant shades of crimson and sapphire.
