When (if ever) do you think Duke will catch up with HYP?

You have no idea what you’re talking about. I just did a quick Google search and here’s some momentous discoveries/findings that Duke researchers have contributed to in just in the past month.</p>

<p>These findings span a wide range of issues: medicine, law, social policy, business, psychology, etc. etc.</p>

<p>What have Vanderbilt researchers done recently?</p>

<p>Vandy, Rice, Georgetown, and Emory are not Duke’s peers; they don’t match up with Duke in any category.

<p>You’ve misconstrued my post. My first point was that RTP hasn’t accomplished much in the way that a research park is intended to (though it has supplied jobs). Look at what Silicon Valley has produced: Hewlett Packard, Netscape, Adobe, e*trade, Intel, Genentech, etc. My second point was that having the Levine Science Center doesn’t really give Duke an edge. It’s just a giant facility. Sure, the research that happens there is important, but that’s a testament to the faculty who work there. I’m not knocking Duke’s research, I’m refuting CuseAmbassador’s argument. </p>

<p>Also, regarding recent productions of Vanderbilt researchers:</p>

<p>*June research hasn’t been posted on the blog yet, but a sampling for the month of May is below.</p>
