All About Dung ... AND ... Jim Lehrer NewsHour

The UO's Dennis Jenkins appeared on two television networks in one night (the Jim Lehrer NewsHour on PBS and The History Channel) on Monday, June 30, to talk about the human DNA found in ancient human excrement.

Wouldn't you know it? Coverage long in the works on Dennis Jenkins' ancient human DNA discovery appears within hours of each other on the evening of Monday, June 30. So if you missed these shows, there is still hope:

  • "All About Dung" on The History Channel will be re-broadcast at 5 p.m. EASTERN time (check the listings) on Saturday, July 5. The History Channel Web site also allows for the show's purchase. (Find out more)
  • You can watch the video segment from the Jim Lehrer NewsHour, or listen to an audio version at the NewsHour Web site. (Take me there)

UO physicist creates a laser trap, which acts as a one-way gate to collect atoms

Daniel Steck mugPhysicists, including the UO's Daniel Steck, have created a laser barrier that lets atoms through only in one direction -- the barrier stuffs the gas into a smaller volume with only a minute increase in its temperature. The Science News, online, presents feature coverage of Steck's work, which was published in the June 20 issue of the journal Physical Review Letters. (Read Story)
