In northeastern North America, a 500-mile-long stretch of mountains runs from the Adirondacks in New York to the Gaspé Peninsula in eastern Quebec.The ecological habitats, which include the alpine zones in the Green Mountains and the White Mountains, are home to many rare species of flowering plants, making the areas hotspots for biodiversity. A new Dartmouth-led study using hundreds of satellite images over 40 years provides the first regional analysis of greening trends in the northern Appalachian region.

More than 250 leaders and CEOs from healthcare, biotechnology, medicine, venture capital, government and technology gathered in Boston for the 2026 World Medical Innovation Forum, convened by Mass General Brigham in collaboration with Bank of America.
