Neukom Fellows Laura Chapot '21 and Tess McNulty '22 at Dartmouth - How does computation reshape the idea of "form" in culture, art, and media?
Neukom Fellows are interdisciplinary positions for recent PhDs whose research interests or practice cut across traditional disciplinary boundaries, with a computational component—whether as a framing concept for intellectual exploration or an explicit part of the work itself. This is a unique opportunity for early-career scholars whose work bridges fields and pushes the boundaries of computational thinking.
Neukom Fellow '25 Erik Tamre says "Studying the evolutionary history recorded in microbial genomes is often the only way to do it: this paper makes use of that approach for a rare documentation of change in the microbial world."
"At the frontiers of knowledge, researchers are discovering that A.I. doesn't just take prompts—it gives them, too, sparking new forms of creativity and collaboration" by Dan Rockmore, Neukom Director.

Neukom Fellow '23 Sophie von Fromm led a study showing how soil carbon in a northern hardwood forest responds to environmental change over time and space. The research, published in the journal Global Change Biology, advances our understanding of how forests store and cycle carbon, a key process for climate regulation.
Neukom Director Dan Rockmore, "Competition this year was fierce, with a big uptick in proposals. We received 41 proposals with a total request of $1.4M. Of these, 14 projects received some combination of funding, ....for a total outlay of about $375k. It was a very difficult decision process, and I wish I could have funded many more."
"A one-size-fits-all strategy isn't going to work for everybody," Turek-Hankins said. "It doesn't matter how much money you give someone for their bill if the AC isn't working, of if you give them a brand-new AC unit but they can't afford to run it."
"This is not science writing—at least as we think of it today—but science storytelling, giving the reader not only information but also a strong sense of the bursts of intellectual and physical energy that animate discovery and creativity," Rockmore
