Is There a Healthy Middle Ground on AI in Schools? Try Skeptical Optimism

Professor Rafe Steinhauer is quoted in an article about using AI in schools. "I would be nervous about any school district saying, 'We're going all in (on AI).' And I would be nervous about any school district (banning the technology)," Steinhauer said. "We know already that there are tremendous risks to student learning and we know that there are tremendous opportunities with generative AI."

A test bed in the search for life

Professor Jacob Buffo is quoted and named as the leader of a project that studies super-salty lakes on Earth as analogs for environments that likely exist on other worlds like Mars, Europa, and Enceladus. These lakes are "what we believe concentrated ephemeral lakes on Mars could have looked like," and could have provided "the last hypersaline refuges for any potential organisms," said Buffo.

Hydrogel-Based Metal AM Offers Breakthrough in Alloy Design

Professor Rebecca Gallivan is quoted about her co-authored study in which researchers developed a method to create metallic objects of a precisely specified shape and composition. "This lays the groundwork for thinking about 3D-printed alloy design in a unique way from other microscale Additive Manufacturing techniques," Gallivan said. "We see that the processing environment leads to very different microstructures in comparison to other methods."

The Hidden Costs of Coding With Generative AI

Professor Geoffrey Parker co-authored an article about the use of generative AI in coding. "When an organization rapidly introduces new software into existing systems, it can inadvertently create a tangle of dependencies that compounds its technical debt—that is, the cost of additional technological work that will be needed in the future to address shortcuts taken and quick fixes made during development," Parker writes.

At Dartmouth, fluorescence tags cancer cells for surgical removal

This article highlights new research co-authored by Professor Eric Henderson and Samuel Streeter '13 Th'14 Th'21 who discovered a new fluorescent molecule that makes cancer cells "glow" during surgery. "Visually highlighting soft-tissue cancers so that they can be removed more reliably will lead to higher cure rates," Henderson said.
