Fostering Innovation at the Intersection of Art and Research: Arts Integration Grants Enhance Faculty-Student Research Dartmouth’s Arts Integration Initiative is fueling interdisciplinary creativity with $100,000 in grants for 10 groundbreaking projects in 2025. From e-textile wearables to virtual reality experiences and sound ethnography, these faculty- and student-led projects merge the arts with science, technology, and social inquiry to spark new ways of thinking and engaging with the world. Backed by the Hopkins Center for the Arts and the Office of the Vice Provost for Research, the program has supported 33 projects since 2021, reinforcing the arts as a catalyst for innovation and cross-disciplinary collaboration.

Taking it to the Hill: Technology Transfer Office Director Kim Rosenfield was among a group of AUTM members and leadership who were in Washington, D.C. to advocate for the research and opportunities that help our investigators transfer Dartmouth College innovations to benefit society and save lives.

For the Birds: Fifty Years of Songbird Maps Take Flight in New Hands PhD candidate Miranda Zammarelli, Guarini, uses professor’s hand-drawn data to track the resilience of songbirds. The project is also the type of hands-on, collaborative research on climate and the environment by students and faculty that Dartmouth is trying to encourage through its new Climate Futures Initiative, launched last year as part of the Dartmouth Climate Collaborative.

Stalled Microbiomes: Study Reveals That Cystic Fibrosis Disrupts Early Gut Development in Infants Findings from a new Dartmouth College-led study, published in the journal mBio, highlight key differences in the gut microbiome (communities of bacteria) of infants with cystic fibrosis (CF) compared to that of healthy infants, and how these alterations may adversely affect their health. CF is a multi-organ genetic disease that causes sticky mucus to build up in the lungs and digestive system, as well as heightened inflammation in the gut and at other body sites.

Before Dartmouth College skiers take on the NCAA Skiing Championships next month, we’re celebrating a pioneer of the sport: Stephen Bradley ’39, known as the "Father of Snow Grooming." A fierce competitor on Dartmouth’s legendary 1939 ski team, Bradley went on to transform the ski industry with his invention of the Bradley Packer-Grader. Patented in 1957 (U.S. Patent No. 2,786,283), Bradley's invention revolutionized slope grooming and paved the way for modern ski resorts, while his vision shaped Colorado's Winter Park, expanded accessibility for disabled skiers, and set the standard for today’s ski trails. As Dartmouth skiers carve their own path at this year’s NCAA Championships, they follow in the tracks of snow biz innovator Stephen Bradley. #DartmouthSkiing #NCAAChampionship #SkiIndustry #Innovation #DartmouthAlumni

At Dartmouth, innovation continues to drive solutions that make a difference in lives. From pioneering research to transformative medical advancements, our faculty and researchers are committed to tackling complex health challenges—including those faced by individuals with rare diseases. In recognition of Rare Disease Day, we'd like to spotlight just a couple of the Dartmouth innovations that are improving treatments and outcomes for patients and families worldwide. The Dartmouth Cystic Fibrosis Research Center advances basic and translational research to improve treatments for cystic fibrosis by investigating airway infections, gut disease, diabetes, and microbiome changes, using integrative strategies and cutting-edge data science to develop new therapeutic approaches. Developed in part at Dartmouth, SkyclarysTM is the only currently available treatment for Friedreich’s ataxia, a rare inherited neurodegenerative disorder that impairs muscle coordination, balance, and mobility due to progressive damage to the nervous system, with potential impacts on speech, vision, heart health, and overall life expectancy. Rare Disease Day, observed on February 28th, aims to raise awareness about rare diseases and the challenges faced by patients worldwide. #rarediseaseday #healthresearch #diseaseresearch

Robotics for Agriculture: PhD Innovation Fellow Adam M. Gronewold is featured in a new video about using mobile robotics to help make agricultural cropping systems more efficient and sustainable. "We demonstrated that we could use about 20% less nitrogen fertilizer and get roughly 10% more yield if we apply the fertilizer slowly over time with a robot. The goal is to sustainably manufacture and sell these robots to farmers," said Gronewold. https://lnkd.in/eEy3kE7V #agriculture #robotics #sustainability
