POLITICS Experts outline best sources for fact-checking the presidential race With three weeks until Election Day, fact-checking is more important than ever. At a panel hosted by Emory Libraries, experts outlined their fact-checking methods and the fact-check websites they trust. Find out their best sources, just in time for tonight's debate. RESOURCES Emory receives record $574.6 million in external research funding for FY 2016 Researchers at Emory University received $574.6 million from external funding agencies in fiscal year 2016. This marks the seventh consecutive year that research funding has exceeded $500 million, and with an increase from $572.4 in FY 2015, it's the largest amount of research funding in Emory's history. INNOVATION Revamped biology labs offer more than a recipe for success Instead of simply following instructions to achieve a known result, Emory College's undergraduate biology labs now focus on authentic research. The new approach teaches problem-solving skills and lets students experience the excitement of discovering something new. COMMUNITY Campus-wide survey to focus on diversity, inclusion A campus-wide survey to assess the culture and climate surrounding issues of diversity and inclusion at Emory was emailed to faculty, staff and students on Oct. 17. RESEARCH Scientists achieve sustained remission in SIV infection Scientists from Emory, led by professor Aftab Ansari, have shown they can achieve sustained control of infection by HIV's relative SIV in rhesus macaques. The results, achieved by supplementing antiretroviral drugs with an antibody during and after drug treatment, could provide a blueprint for long-lasting HIV treatment. EVENTS Halloween events bring spooky fun to campus Get into the Halloween spirit with Day of the Living DUC, a zombie 5K, pumpkin painting, a cemetery walk, Mummies and Mixers, a haunted house in Harris Hall and more. Events kick off Friday and continue through Oct. 31. SUSTAINABILITY Biology professor's work with nature preserve in running for 'hero' award An Emory professor of laboratory teaching, Chris Beck, is being recognized for his volunteer work involving an unexpected kind of laboratory: a 28-acre Atlanta nature sanctuary. HONORS National Academy of Medicine elects Emory nursing, public health researchers  The National Academy of Medicine has elected Deborah W. Bruner, Woodruff Professor of Nursing, and K.M. Venkat Narayan, Hubert Professor of Global Health, to its 2016 class of leading health scientists and international members, one of the highest honors in the fields of health and medicine. SUPPORT Emory's Carlos Museum receives $1 million gift Real estate businessman and entrepreneur Charles S. Ackerman has fulfilled a pledge to gift $1 million to the Michael C. Carlos Museum to name the museum's reception hall the Charles S. Ackerman Hall. IMPACT Intimate Partner Violence Working Group marks decade of campus support October is National Relationship Violence Awareness Month, marked at Emory with a Take Back the Night march and rally Oct. 24. It also offers a chance to reflect on a decade of campus work addressing IPV. PROFILE Wanda Swan: Preventing violence, supporting survivors, building 'Respect' As director of the Respect Program, Wanda Swan oversees Emory's central hub for interpersonal violence prevention and survivor support. She traces her advocacy roots back to her mother -- "the first feminist I'd ever met, though she wouldn't call herself that."
