Welcome to the week at Duke in 60 seconds.
Last weekend marked the 35th anniversary of the Grateful Dead playing at Cameron Indoor. Alumni shared their memories on Duke’s Facebook page, which featured the original concert poster and a ticket stub that listed the price of admission as $9.50.
In other musical news, two Duke faculty have released a comic book exploring more than 2,000 years of musical history, and how musicians have borrowed each other’s music across genres and cultures.
A Duke study of more than 500 children who grew up in the era of leaded gasoline has shown that their exposure to the powerful neurotoxin may have led to a loss of intelligence and occupational standing by the time they reached age 38.
Finally, Duke announced its seven honorary degree recipients for this year’s commencement. Honorees include Loretta Lynch, the former U.S. attorney general who will also speak at the Law School’s hooding ceremony on the same weekend.
