This morning, members of the Duke community gathered at Duke's 9/11 Memorial plaque to honor those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001, including six Duke alumni.

On the first anniversary of the attacks, six trees were planted behind Keohane Quad in memory of the alumni lost. The trees, saplings at the time, and are now beautiful and fully grown as we mark the 25th anniversary of 9/11. A wreath is laid at the Duke memorial each year to honor their lives.

We remember:
A. Todd Rancke '81
Michael Morgan Taylor '81
John Robinson "Rob" Lenoir '84
Peter Keith Ortale '87
Christopher Todd Pitman '93
Frederick Charles Rimmele III M.D. '94

๐ŸŒก๏ธ Heat doesn't affect everyone equally.

Some Durham neighborhoods can be 10โ€“15ยฐF hotter than others because of differences in trees, pavement, and buildings. Those temperature differences can have real impacts on health.

In our latest Climate Pathfinders episode, Duke researcher Danielle Wagner partnered with community members at El Futuro to measure neighborhood heat using wearable sensorsโ€”helping uncover where people experience the greatest exposure.

Swipe through to see Danielle and the team in the field, then watch the full story here:
