Desperately Seeking Sound Bites
(HTML)
(PDF) 708 KB
The mainstream media—print and broadcast—is a major source of health information. How do physicians and researchers communicate their work to the public? And what can readers expect from the popular press's coverage of medicine and science? |

Unforgiving Forests
(HTML)
(PDF) 828 KB
In 1959, two members of the DMS faculty set out in a small plane on a medical mission to northern New Hampshire. They never returned. Four decades later, the impact of their death in the North Country's unforgiving forests still resonates through Dartmouth and the region's wilderness rescue community. |

A Balancing ACT(G)

The four simple nucleotides— adenine, cytosine, thymine, and guanine—that make up DNA conceal a world of complexity. Both academe and society will have to deal with that complexity, maintains Dartmouth College's president. |

End of an Era
(HTML)
(PDF) 752 KB
S. Marsh Tenney, who was charged by the Dartmouth Trustees with revitalizing DMS in 1956, died in October at the age of 78. Had his "refounding" of the institution not been such a success, DMS would probably not exist today, and DHMC would be a very different place. |

Doctors and researchers today
are often called upon to
explain their work in the
popular press. What happens
when the sound-bite mentality
meets the complexity of
science? The cover illustration
is by Douglas and Susan Harp
of Hanover. The associated
feature starts on page 20. |
Dartmouth Medicine seeks to convey the breadth and depth of the education, research, and patient-care activities of DMS and DHMC; to serve as a publication of historical record; to stimulate thought and discussion on issues in medicine and medical education; and to reflect the range of opinions and activities among Dartmouth medical students, faculty, and alumni. Among abbreviations used regularly in these pages are DMS (Dartmouth Medical School), DHMC (Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center), MHMH (Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital), DC (Dartmouth College), and HS (housestaff). The opinions of contributors do not necessarily reflect those of DMS or DHMC.
Dartmouth Medicine is published four times a year—in Fall (September), Winter (December), Spring (March), and Summer (June). It is produced using a Macintosh G4 and Quark XPress 4.11.
We are happy to send Dartmouth Medicine—on a complimentary basis —to anyone who is interested in the subjects that are covered in the magazine. Write us if you'd like to be added to our rolls. We regret, however, that the complimentary subscription offer can be extended only to addresses within North America.
Because our mailing list comes from eight separate databases, some readers may receive duplicate copies. Please share extra copies with someone else, or send us the address panels from all the copies you receive, and we will be glad to eliminate the duplication.
