More on Human Evolution
Duke's Steven Churchill and an international team of colleagues published the second wave of papers in the journal Science from their analysis of two South African specimens called Australopithecus sediba. He is joined by his colleague, Boston University's Jeremy DeSilva, in describing the latest findings in a conversation hosted by Duke's Karl Bates.
This latest round of analysis goes deeper into several areas of the anatomy of the two spectacularly complete A. sediba specimens and turns up some surprises.

The Science and Impact of Climate Change
Dr. Einaudi’s work deals with the science of climate change and its possible impacts. Specifically, his presentation discusses the following questions:
• Is the climate changing?
• Are humans responsible for climate change?
• What are the impacts of climate change?
• What will the changes be in the next century or so?
The complexities of the Earth System, the uncertainties of its behavior and its predictability will be outlined. Climate change is a global phenomenon where all nations are involved: the relative responsibilities of developed versus developing nations will be discussed. Finally, the nature of the public debate on global warming will also be reviewed along with the interaction between scientists and policymakers.

Effects of Antibiotics from an Effluent Dominated Prairie Stream
Recent worldwide surveys have established the ubiquitous presence of pharmaceuticals in surface waters receiving treated sewage effluent.Stream systems where such effluent dominates flow may be at the highest risk for ecosystem level changes. A monitoring study conducted on Wascana Creek, Saskatchewan, Canada indicate that antibiotics were always present in stream water for at least 50km below the sewage outfall. Subsequent field and laboratory research indicated that these antibiotics have effects on aquatic microbial (algae and bacteria) community structure and function at concentrations currently seen in effluent dominated ecosystems.Published 4 months ago
