SPECIAL FEATURE Moving the needle A national opioid epidemic is driving people from pills to heroin, filling emergency rooms with overdose cases and killing tens of thousands of Americans every year. What are we doing about it? TEACHING Emory acquires rare 18th-century Piranesi books illustrating ancient Rome Emory students and scholars can now access the complete rare folio set by Piranesi (1720-1778), who documented, imagined and recreated ancient Rome — buildings, maps, mausoleums, cemeteries, street scenes and more — through incredibly detailed etchings. PUBLIC HEALTH Dengue 'hot spots' provide map to chikungunya and Zika outbreaks Identifying dengue fever "hot spots" can provide a predictive map for outbreaks of chikungunya and Zika — two other viral diseases that, along with dengue, are spread by the Aedes aegypti mosquito. MEDICINE Study identifies a link between antidepressant treatment resistance and inflammation Emory researchers have found that depressed patients who have not responded to multiple antidepressants exhibit evidence of increased inflammation. RESEARCH Physicists devise method to reveal how light affects materials Emory physicists have developed a way to determine the electronic properties of thin gold films after they interact with light. Nature Communications published the new method, which may pave the way for improvements in devices such as optical sensors and photovoltaic cells. ENGAGEMENT Unraveling the intricacies of global connectivity The challenges of global business go well beyond language barriers. Students in Emory's Goizueta Business School are exposed to global perspectives in every aspect of their coursework, including immersive experiences abroad.
