The Wire   SPOTLIGHT Celebrating math, miracles and a movie An advance screening of "The Man Who Knew Infinity" at The Carter Center was a chance to celebrate Emory's connection to the film -- Ken Ono, Asa Griggs Candler Professor of Math, served as an associate producer and the math consultant. Focused on the life of Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan, who said his math formulas came to him as visions from a Hindu goddess, the film opens nationwide April 29. Learn more and see the trailer.

SUSTAINABILITY Emory wins prestigious 2016 US Water Prize for WaterHub The WaterHub, Emory's on-site, eco-engineered water reclamation system, was lauded by the U.S. Water Alliance for "showing us what is possible when major anchor institutions like universities invest in water reuse." RESEARCH Elevated troponin linked to mental stress ischemia in heart disease patients Some people with heart disease experience a restriction of blood flow to the heart, called ischemia, in response to psychological stress. A study by Emory cardiologists shows they tend to have higher levels of troponin, a marker of recent stress or damage to the heart muscle.
