We chat with Notre Dame geologist and moon expert Clive Neal, who is part of a team that will examine previously sealed lunar samples obtained during the Apollo missions. Note: Clive refers several times to "regolith," which is the powdery, dusty material on the lunar surface. Learn more about Clive's work at news.nd.edu/our-experts/neal-clive/.

In addition, we look at the School of Architecture's Rome Studies Program, as it marks its 50th Anniversary in the Eternal City. Read more about the program at ntrda.me/FormandFunction.
