Duke admits 5.7% for Duke Regional Hospital begins expansion regular decision By Kathryn Silberstein

Health and Science News Editor

Duke Regional Hospital just started the largest construction project since its opening in 1976. On March 25, the hospital official broke ground to expand its emergency department and behavioral health branch.

The University accepted 2,101 high school seniors in the regular decision round this year, according to a Duke news release. With a record high of 41,600 applicants applying for admission overall, the University outdid its record of more than 37,302 students who applied to Duke last year. The Class of 2023 had a regular decision acceptance rate of 5.7 percent—with 37,761 applying under the Regular Decision program and another 81 students who were deferred during the early decision round receiving offers of admission. “My staff and I were struck by the impact the students who applied to Duke this year have already had,” Christoph Guttentag, dean of undergraduate admissions, said in the release. “We knew that they would have impressive academic records and show a strong commitment to their activities. What stood out for us was that many of them went beyond that to make a measurable impact on their communities. They really want to make things better. Not surprisingly, programs like Duke Engage, Bass Connections and Focus captured their imagination.” The Class of 2023 broke the records that were set last year, when more than 37,302 students applied for admission and 6.4 percent were accepted regular decision. This year’s early decision acceptance rate was also a record low, with 882 high school seniors admitted out of a recordhigh 4,852 applicants. Students receiving offers through the early decision round comprised 51 percent of those admitted to the Class of 2023. Last year, the Class of 2022 saw an acceptance rate of 21 percent out of 4,090 students in its early decision round.

Million dollars is how much the renovations are projected to cost The newly constructed changes—funded by a $102.4 million investment from the University—are projected to open by spring 2021. “While our campus is going to look a bit different in 2021 when we open exactly two years from now, our vision at Duke Regional Hospital remains the same: our aim is to be the best community hospital,” said Katie Galbraith, president of Duke Regional Hospital, in a news release. The expansion will increase the number of private rooms available in the emergency department and Clinical Decisions Unit. There will also be a new 42-bed inpatient behavioral health unit made up of all private rooms and a behavioral health emergency department that will consist of 18 private rooms. The number of outpatient behavioral health clinic rooms will also increase from 19 to 30. The expansion and changes will feature an exercise room, outdoor courtyards, natural light, more group therapy space and “other accommodations that enhance the patient experience.” An electroconvulsive therapy unit at Duke South clinics will be moved to Duke Regional.

Dining Challenge crowns The Loop best campus restaurant By Jack Rubenstein Staff Writer

Which spot makes the best food at Duke? That’s a question the Duke Dining Challenge, a March Madness-style bracket on the popular Facebook group “Duke Memes for Gothicc Teens,” tried to answer. The Loop emerged victorious, defeating Divinity Cafe in the final round by just over 100 votes. The Loop’s employees appreciate the recognition and were following the bracket closely. “It makes us feel really good and appreciated,” said Morgan O’Connell, manager of the Loop. “I’ve worked here for five years now, and it was really nice to read all the comments. All the employees followed along, and everyone was really excited. We employ a lot of students who were super hyped about it.” Over 1,000 students have voted on each head-to-head matchup, putting these competitions up there with some of the group’s most liked posts. The bracket’s popularity has even inspired spin-off brackets, including a Duke majors bracket and a bracket for merchants who take food points. Duke Dining is aware of the bracket. “Duke Dining enjoys seeing the Duke community including our venues in the March Madness fanfare,” wrote Robert Coffey, executive director of dining services, in an email. “We look forward to celebrating the student body’s winning choice. Keep on the lookout for how the winning venue will thank the student body for their support.” Sophomore Will Herbst and a few friends came up with the idea.

Christy Kuesel | Contributing Photographer The first Duke Dining Challenge was held in the Facebook memes group throughout the month of March, with students voting on their choices to advance them through the bracket.

“[We] made a list of all the places we thought should be included and seeded them,” Herbst said. “I just tried it out and people liked it so I kept posting them.” The bracket they made includes 32 dining sites, which represents nearly every on-campus eatery. Voting was simple: Each option had a Facebook reaction associated with it, and the eatery with the most reactions won. There were a few big upsets early on, with seventh-seeded Nasher Cafe defeating secondseeded Krafthouse and seventh-seeded Law School Cafe defeating second-seeded Cafe in the Brodhead Center. “I have no idea what the Law School Cafe is, and apparently people really like it,” Herbst

said. “I was pretty surprised that Krafthouse went out so early. I love that people hate the Skillet as much as I do.” Many of the favorites did well, however, with all of the number-one seeds — Sazón, Divinity Cafe, Pitchforks, and The Loop — making it to the Final Four. One of the more notable moments in the bracket came when sixth-seeded Thrive and second-seeded Marketplace squared off in the round of 16. The post garnered over 2,000 votes and over 500 comments, and the margin of victory was razor-thin. Thrive won by two votes, though some students didn’t see it that way. Many contended that Marketplace had

in fact won. These detractors even started a brief alternative bracket that deemed Marketplace the winner. However, order was restored and the competition continued with Thrive as the winner. Herbst maintained the legitimacy of the contest, saying, “At midnight, I took a screen recording of my refreshing the page and then checking the numbers to make sure the result would be correct.” As to why the Loop was so successful, O’Connell said she thought the diversity of the menu and the speed of service were important factors. “I think having delivery, being a Merchant on Points, really helps a lot too,” she said. Many students were satisfied with the final result, voicing their approval in the comments section or in conversations throughout campus. “The Loop is a great place to eat and it clearly deserved to win based off of its milkshakes and mac and cheese bites,” said first-year Matthew Hassenwinkel. “The strawberry milkshakes here take me for a Loop,” added first-year Manav Vakil. Others were less satisfied with the choice. “Thrive should’ve won, but not enough people go to Central,” said sophomore Pouya Mohammadi. “Like 80 percent of [people who live on] Central advocated for Thrive”. “The Loop is proof that mediocre yet basic food will always win over more nuanced yet higher quality options,” said sophomore Perry Wallack. For those who have had fun with the bracket, enjoy it while it lasts. Herbst said he isn’t planning on doing the bracket again next year, but anyone interested in making it a tradition could potentially fill his role.

Admission is always free for Duke students.

Students road-trip to DC to hear research Doctors may be they worked on cited by Supreme Court able to see clues of Alzheimer’s in eyes, Duke study suggests

By Nathan Luzum Senior Editor

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Two Duke students got to see their research take center stage in the United States Supreme Court March 26. Seniors Luke Farrell and Jake Shulman traveled to the nation’s capital to attend the oral arguments in the case Rucho v. Common Cause, a case on North Carolina partisan gerrymandering. The two seniors were part of a Bass Connections team whose research on the mathematics behind drawing districts was cited in the case’s oral arguments and documents. “I think this was one of the single most important educational experiences I’ve ever had,” Farrell said. “It’s been really rewarding and really hard math research and to see Justice [Elena] Kagan talking about that research directly—even though we played a very small part in all of that—it still was super exciting to see that small part make a big difference in the long run.” The case focuses on North Carolina’s congressional districts, which the plaintiffs alleged have been gerrymandered to produce districts favorable to Republicans. A district court ruled in January 2018 that the maps were unconstitutional by violating non-Republican voters’ rights of the First Amendment, Equal Protection Clause and Elections Clause. The verdict was subsequently appealed to the Supreme Court. Jonathan Mattingly, chair of the Duke department of mathematics, and his Bass Connections team played a key role in decoding the mathematics behind gerrymandering. Farrell explained that team’s goal was to create a variety of maps, determine the political leaning of a state and ultimately establish whether the drawn map is likely partisan. According to Farrell, their work is a “nitty-gritty” process of creating sample district maps that account for population, Voting Rights Act provisions and other factors. Shulman added that the idea was to examine what the slate of potential maps would look like if partisan data were not considered when drawing district lines. For instance, Republicans in North Carolina picked up 53 percent of the vote in 2016 but won 10 out of 13 districts. The data collected by Farrell and Shulman suggested that this lopsided outcome is “a giant outlier,” Shulman explained. Although the two were only able to watch the arguments for five minutes due to limited seating, seeing their research discussed in court was a culminating moment for Farrell and Shulman. “We went inside for around five minutes, and we got to hear a good portion of what they were talking about,” Shulman said. “They actually ended up talking about the part that we’re working on with Duke research, where they talked about the

ensemble of maps—the 25,000 maps that we created—and showed that [around] 24,990 are more fair and reasonable than the map that was actually enacted.” Shulman explained that trip to D.C. had been in the works since the court docket came out last semester, and Farrell said he’d blocked off the whole week on his calendar in preparation for the announcement of the hearing date. They drove up the day before, stayed at an Airbnb and woke up early in the morning to stand in line for a few hours, hoping to catch a glimpse of the Supreme Court Justices and attorneys in the case. The seniors even missed their Bass Connections gerrymandering class. Farrell said they had a “reasonable pass” for that one. Despite the cold, he added that the atmosphere in the line was exciting as people waited for the chance to be admitted to the courtroom. “A lot of people were really energized in the line,” Farrell said. “Everyone was really excited and here for the case, which I think was really cool.” Farrell said that his ideal, yet unlikely, ruling would be the court broadly ruling that North Carolina’s maps and partisan gerrymandering are unconstitutional. A more feasible outcome would be a 5-4 decision either way, the senior said. Farrell added that the team struggled with making the complex mathematics behind their gerrymandering research accessible and useful evidence in the court case. But when the research came up during the argument, Farrell knew that their effort had been worth it. “We saw that all that hard work paid off,” he said.

The blood vessels in your eyes may allow for earlier detection of Alzheimer’s disease, a new Duke University study suggests. Professor of Ophthalmology Sharon Fekrat was struck with a unique medical opportunity in 2017 when two 96-year-old genetically identical twins came into her office. One had advanced Alzheimer’s disease, whereas the other did not. The only physical difference between the two was their eyes. “The eye is actually a direct extension of the brain,” Fekrat said. “The retina is like the wallpaper of the inside of the eyeball—it’s nerve tissue. It shares many features with the brain and central nervous system.” The brain and eye also share biomarkers that can be used in diagnosing Alzheimer’s, such as levels of the protein amyloid-beta. Spinal fluid is also found in the vitreous gel within the pupil, Fekrat explained, and levels of amyloid-beta in these fluids can correlate with lower cognitive test scores. The research involved a collaboration with the Duke Neurological Disorders Clinic, where the team gathered participants with varying mental states. “Our study is the largest prospectively imaged group in current literature,” Fekrat said. The control group consisted of 254 eyes from 133 people categorized as being “normal” and cognitively healthy. There was an intermediate group of 72 eyes from 37 people with minor cognitive impairment (MCI). Finally, the study collected scans of 70 eyes from 39 patients with Alzheimer’s, as diagnosed by the neurology clinic using many mental state tests. In both the control group and the MCI group, scans showed that microscopic blood vessels in one cell layer of the retina were considerably thicker than those in patients with Alzheimer’s. These results were interesting in two ways, the researcher explained. First, there was no difference between the density of blood vessels in the eyes of cognitively healthy and MCI groups, although MCI has long been thought to be a precursor to Alzheimer’s. Fekrat said that the researchers later plan to separate those MCI patients who are diagnosed as having amnesia and those who aren’t to see if the forgetfulness is tied to Alzheimer’s. A long-term goal of the study is to include repeat imaging over the course of time to see how retinal structures change as people age, but this goal is reliant on the amount of funding that the team can secure. Ultimately, Fekrat explained that retinal scans may allow for early detection of Alzheimer’s, letting patients to enter clinical trials before it is too late for the potential drugs to be effective. This type of detection could also be used for other neurological degeneration diseases such as multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease. The study found Alzheimer’s to be statistically significant even after testing for potential significance of factors other than the disease, such as age, sex and years of education. Fekrat also noted that, because the study excluded 22% of their original participants for better data, the research team might need to test more people. For example, they excluded scans of patients that had existing conditions that could show similar findings, such as diabetes or glaucoma. There will be a continuation of tests in August that will study such parameters, as well as include patients with diabetes and glaucoma. Additionally, the researchers want to learn more about the connection between MCI patients and Alzheimer’s. “Looking forward, we need to image many more patients,” Fekrat said. “These people were just from North Carolina, and the majority were Caucasian. We need to study more diverse populations. We need to validate our data in larger populations.”

Blue Devils take home ACC championship in Charlotte By Hank Tucker Associate Sports Editor

CHARLOTTE—Tre Jones has done just about everything for Duke this season—elite on-ball defense, playmaking for his magnificent classmates and managing the Blue Devils’ fastpaced offense. Hunting his own scoring wasn’t always a priority, not until the second half of the ACC championship. Jones evoked memories of his older brother Tyus Saturday night, shining when the lights were brightest with 13 of his game-high 18 points after the break to help Duke pull away from Florida State. He drove into the Seminoles’ physical defense and finished consistently at the rim, winding up 8-of-14 from the field. His efforts helped the Blue Devils dominate the paint, outscoring Florida State 42-18 in that area. “Earlier in the year, Tre was just happy running the team and did a great job. He’s still happy running the team, but he can score and we need that and he knows that better now,” head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “So we’re just more balanced and we have a lot of confidence. They have a lot of confidence in one another.” Particularly after returning from a shoulder injury he suffered against Syracuse in January, Jones has often been hesitant to attack the paint, content to move around the perimeter and take open 3-pointers. Those looks were easy to find because he wasn’t making them, with defenses content to sag off of him on the perimeter to clog the paint and make life more difficult for Zion Williamson and R.J. Barrett. Since the injury, Jones is shooting just 13-of-57 beyond the arc, a 22.8 percent clip. The point guard didn’t settle for those open shots, using his finesse and body control to get shots off at the rim around defenders. The 6-foot-2 point guard’s 11 2-point attempts were his most since Duke’s first matchup against the Seminoles Jan. 12,

the game before his shoulder injury, and his seven made shots inside the arc were season highs. “Early on in the game, I saw they were helping off of me a lot, trying to plug gaps, to Zion especially, but R.J. as well,” Jones said. “As a player and a competitor, I wanted to do everything in my power to help us win, and it just took more scoring from me tonight.” Jones showed his aggressiveness on the Blue Devils’ first

offensive possession of the second half, knocking down a pull-up midrange jumper to respond to a triple from Terance Mann that put Florida State ahead 39-36. That started a 10-0 run that gave the Blue Devils the lead for good. “We emphasized at halftime to come out and deliver the first blow in the second half,” Jones said. “Both teams were a little fatigued from the past few games, but we knew that if we were able to get stops and get out in transition, we would be able to wear them out.” Jones finished that spurt with a layup off a full-court bounce pass from Williamson that hit him perfectly in stride. In a reversal of the connection that has occurred countless times this season, it may have been Williamson’s finest play of a spectacular tournament. “I was just feeling it. Tre was running, I said, ‘Let me try to dime it,’ and it got through and Tre finished,” Williamson said. “I’m just glad he made the layup.” After a few minutes of trading buckets, Jones made back-toback driving layups to give the Blue Devils their first double-digit advantage of the game in the middle of another 8-0 run. Then, with the game getting dicey again down the stretch and Duke’s lead down to seven, Jones delivered again, ending a scoring drought of more than two minutes with a short pull-up just before Cam Reddish’s dagger 3-pointer polished off the win. “We weren’t going to accept anything but a win in this ACC tournament,” Jones said. “All of us really came here to win a championship. Even when we committed, we talked about coming here to win. So being able to get this first championship, it means a lot, but hopefully we’re not done.”

So you have an idea? How will you make it? The way in which physical products are developed and manufactured is changing at an exponential rate. Digital manufacturing and new technologies like 3D printing are no longer the tools of deep-pocketed industrialists. These methodologies are quickly replacing massive machines while at the same time enabling concepts like ultra-rapid prototyping, distributed manufacturing, slim production and personalized, custom products. The systems are at a point where they are economically available to nearly everyone. The Innovation Studio was created to address this emerging industry.

So you have an idea? How will you make it? The way in which physical products are developed and manufactured is changing at an exponential rate. Digital manufacturing and new technologies like 3D printing are no longer the tools of deep-pocketed industrialists. These methodologies are quickly replacing massive machines while at the same time enabling concepts like ultra-rapid prototyping, distributed manufacturing, slim production and personalized, custom products. The systems are at a point where they are economically available to nearly everyone. The Innovation Studio was created to address this emerging industry. The lab features more than one hundred 3D printers using two technologies, a CNC router and a laser cutter as well as numerous small IoT systems. In this tour you’ll learn about how these products are being used at Duke and in industry.

Drop by the Freeman Center for Jewish Life anytime between 4:00 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. to tour the facility, meet students and staff, enjoy light refreshments and see what’s new with Jewish campus engagement. No RSVP required.

Network and mingle with Department of Economics alumni, students and faculty. Drinks and light refreshments will be served. Please register in advance.
