As the world remembers Dolly Parton, it's a time to reflect on a legacy that lives far beyond music.

In "A Diamond in a Rhinestone World: The Performance and Politics of Dolly Parton," taught by Will Bonfiglio of Arts & Sciences, students explored "What is it about her that connects to everyone?"

Through music, culture, business, and humanitarianism, she embodied what it meant to be "The Seeker" of a world that glitters with goodness, Southern charm, and the act of taking care of each other. https://bit.ly/4jwMlMZ

✨ Meet the Class Acts: Isabella Caffarelli 🎓

A senior majoring in applied mathematics and minoring in astrophysics, Isabella (Izzy) Caffarelli, is looking forward to a new research challenge after she graduates from WashU.

After years of studying black holes, she's pivoting to another complex computational task: helping brain scientists use advanced algorithms to sort and understand neurological data in a cleaner, more coherent way. She starts her new postbaccalaureate position with The National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, Md., in July.

From the cosmos to cognition 💫 : Isabella Caffarelli of spent years analyzing X-rays from black holes, light that traveled for thousands or even millions of years before reaching us. This summer, she's starting a new research challenge at the National Institutes of Health, where she'll help brain scientists use advanced algorithms to make sense of complex neurological data. https://bit.ly/4ndoLYX
