The latest issue of ICTP's bi-annual newsletter, News from ICTP, is now available. Contents include:

String Theory: Last year's Dirac Medallists unravel the mysteries of string theory in an interview where they share their insights on this proposal for a unified description of fundamental interactions in nature, and also describe what they find most exciting about the theory.

ICTP and Darwin: The link between physics and human evolution may not seem immediately obvious. Yet, the tools of modern physics can date human evolution and dispersal accurately. The tools and techniques used to pinpoint the age of human bones and teeth were the subject of ICTP exhibit and lecture series held in conjunction with UNESCO's symposium on Darwin, Evolution and Science.

Focus on Africa: the newsletter centrefold highlights ICTP's impact on Africa and includes photos from the recent ICTP meeting that reviewed the Centre's role in Africa.
