ACADEMICS
Emory class sinks its teeth into Bram Stoker archive at Rose Library
Students in this semester’s “The Monster in the Library” course were the first to have an intense, individualized experience using the Stoker collection since it was acquired by the Rose Library in 2021. The class drew an array of undergraduates, graduate students and PhD candidates, including graduate student Max Schweigl (left).

ACADEMICS
Juris master degree program expands with new concentrations
Two new concentrations — one in data, privacy and technology law and the other in employment law and human resources — expand the opportunities within Emory Law’s juris master degree program.

RESEARCH
Computerized, rolling DNA motors move molecular robotics to next level
Emory chemists integrated computer functions into rolling DNA-based motors, the first that combine computational power with the ability to burn fuel and move in an intentional direction. Their work opens new possibilities for miniature, molecular robots. Selma Piranej, an Emory PhD candidate in chemistry, is first author of the paper published in Nature Nanotechnology.

Exploring the co-curricular transcript: Emory is considering ways to recognize student engagement that is not part of the formal credit-bearing course curriculum, like participating in organizations, special projects or trainings, leadership roles and other activities. Share your thoughts about the value of a co-curricular student transcript in a two-minute survey. Ten participants will be randomly chosen to receive a DoorDash gift card.

AI.Humanity Ethics Lecture Series: "The Nature and Justification of Algorithmic Power" with Seth Lazar
As society increasingly relies on artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, how can ethically committed individuals and institutions articulate values to guide their development and respond to emerging problems?
