As part of their Zoo Animal Enrichment course, studio art graduate student Marcy Davis, environmental science graduate student Peyton Harper and Kaitlyn Klotz ’24 MA created a structure for black-and-white colobus monkeys inspired by trees in their native Kenyan forests.

The yearly collaboration between the TCU College of Fine Arts and the TCU College of Science & Engineering tasks students with designing and building structures that enhance the quality of life for animals at the Fort Worth Zoo.

“It was amazing to have our project installed at the zoo after a semester of research,” Harper said. “Seeing our chosen animal use that structure exactly how we hoped was something I will never forget.”

Ze-Li Dou, associate professor of mathematics, was recently featured on Australia’s ABC Radio National! He joined a panel on God Forbid to discuss "Spirituality, AI, and the Ancient Game of Go." 🧠✨

Dou and fellow experts explored some thought-provoking ideas, like how ancient games connect to modern artificial intelligence and what they teach us about human intuition and spirituality.

His insights shine a light on how TCU faculty are contributing to global conversations on some of today’s most intriguing topics.

📻 Listen to the full discussion here:

The ancient game of Go is a teacher of spirituality, patience, colonisation, and world affairs. So what does it when a computer beats the world Go champion?
