🌡️ Heat doesn't affect everyone equally.

Some Durham neighborhoods can be 10–15°F 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 sensors—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:

Happy Fourth of July! 🎇

As America commemorates its 250th anniversary, we’re reflecting on the ideas, stories, and documents that helped shape the nation’s history.

This fall, Duke Arts invites you to experience a rare print of the Declaration of Independence in Durham. These special exhibitions offer a unique opportunity to see one of the country’s most influential documents and learn how it was shared, displayed, and understood during the early years of the United States.

Presented as part of “We the People: A Duke & Durham Initiative,” and courtesy of the David M. Rubenstein Americana Collection, this exhibition encourages visitors to explore the enduring impact of the Declaration and engage with the nation’s evolving story.
