🎭 Culture
A Hyde Park artist plans a three-story mural of sculptor Richard Hunt for an apartment building at 54th Street and Lake Park Avenue.

🎓 Education
UIC College of Dentistry has launched the Department of Population Oral Health and appointed Dr. Scott Tomar as its head, marking its first new department in over 30 years — the hub will drive dental public health research, clinical prevention and community-based education with nearly 10,000 patient visits annually.
🏥 Health
UIC and Penn State researchers received a $900,000 NSF grant to build digital twins of Alzheimer’s patients for better treatment planning (model-building and validation are underway).
