Writing is a brief, structured practice of responding to a writing prompt, followed by time for individual and group reflection. The writing is for you-the participant. This practice is for everyone. You do not need to consider yourself a 'writer' to participate. This is not a writing workshop, and you are never required to share anything you write. Participants often report gaining new perspectives, thinking about experiences in new ways, and reconnecting with parts of their lives that they value but don't often pause to reflect on.

Food systems everywhere are affected by changes in climate and our environments. Studies have shown that CO2 emissions reduce nutritional density on core crops. Shifting weather patterns affect planting and harvest cycles, while flooding and drought destroy crops and significantly reduce agricultural yield. Microplastics are increasingly identified throughout our food supply.

Join us on Saturday, November 21, from 9:00-11:00 a.m. for the official launch of the new Unearthing Duke Forest Trail near the Wooden Bridge in the Korstian Division.

Through three newly installed signs, visitors can explore some of the rich and complex human history of the land that is today called the Duke Forest and learn about historic features that remain visible on the land today.

Abstract: Advances in high-throughput technologies have dramatically increased our ability to characterize disease, yet understanding the mechanisms underlying disease progression well enough to predict clinical outcomes remains a major challenge. This seminar will describe how mechanistic mathematical models integrated with multimodal data can infer hidden biological processes, explain why similar biomarker profiles can arise from fundamentally different disease states, and improve predictions of disease outcomes.
