	September 2001: PBS “Evolution” Series Launches Interactive Web-Site, featuring original scientific illustrations from Fairman Studios: Evolution determines who lives, who dies, and who passes traits on to the next generation. The process plays a critical role in our daily lives, yet it is one of the most overlooked and misunderstood concepts ever described. In a seven-part television series, interactive Web site, and companion book, these and other evolutionary elements are examined for their profound effect on society and culture. From the genius and torment of Charles Darwin, to the role of mass extinction in the survival of the species, to the perceived conflict between science and religion, evolution is sweeping in scope. Designed to encourage intellectual discourse and provide rich educational opportunities, Evolution illuminates evolution’s relevance for us all. Co-produced by Clear Blue Sky Productions and the WGBH/NOVA Science Unit. See the series!Sex and the Single Guppy An Origin of Species What Killed the Dinosaurs? All in the Family

	July 2001: Dartmouth Toxic Metals Research Program begins collaboration with Fairman Studios for its new web site, launched December 2001. Nearly three-quarters of the elements that make up the universe are metals. Though they are abundant in nature, and though many are essential for life, some metals can be toxic to living things when they build up in water, soil or food. Worldwide, there is growing awareness of the extent and complexity of this problem. Dartmouth has formed a diverse group of scientists to study and teach about toxic metals in the environment. The Dartmouth Toxic Metals Research Site is created to share what has been learned and to provide an interactive resource for facts, research and news on metals known to be harmful to living systems. We invite your comments and suggestions. This project is sponsored by a Superfund Basic Research Program Project Grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences.

Turtle Flipper Anatomy

This anatomical plate was created for scientific publication, illustrating the muscular and boney anatomy of the Kemp’s Ridley Sea Turtle flipper. It was executed and drawn completely from dissection. The final plate was the recipient of the Association of Medical Illustrators Certificate of Merit, in the Editorial category at the 1998 Annual Meeting, held in Toronto, Ontario. Medium: Airbrushed Watercolor and Film Pencil.

The Kemp’s Ridley Turtle (Lepidochelys kempii) is the smallest of all sea turtles. Adult Kemp’s Ridley sea turtles weigh 80-120 lbs and are 26-30 inches long. Their wide, almost round carapace is olive gray, and their plastron is white to yellowish. The hatchlings are darker colored, almost black, and only 2 inches long when they are born.

The Kemp’s ridley sea turtles were listed as endangered under to the Endangered Species Act (ESA) in the United States in 1970. This makes it illegal for anyone to disturb, kill, or take the eggs of the Kemp’s ridley. Although the population is showing early signs of recovery, the species is still considered highly endangered.
