| |  | | | | | Empowering your immune system to fight cancer | | | A decade ago, there were few effective treatment options for patients with advanced melanoma or lung cancer. That's changing, thanks to new immunotherapy drugs which can unleash a patient's own immune system. An Emory scientist's discoveries pointed the way to the new therapies, and Winship Cancer Institute's clinical investigators have been involved in trials of almost every immunotherapy drug approved by the FDA. | |

| | | | | Kenya and 'the double life of kale' | | | Kale's discovery by affluent consumers in the United States is an example of how much high-income societies can learn from the dietary habits of the poor, explains Emory anthropologist Peter Little.

| | | | | | Emory University Hospital bridge installation | | | | | A new Emory landmark took shape over the weekend as a two-story pedestrian bridge to connect Emory University Hospital with its new wing was erected over Clifton Road. Clifton was closed to all traffic except for emergency hospital access beginning at 8 p.m. on Friday and reopened at 1 p.m. on Sunday, more than 12 hours ahead of schedule. Learn more about the project and view photos and video of the bridge construction. | |
| | | Sand mandala closing ceremony | | | | | As Emory celebrated Tibet Week back in March, Buddhist monks spent hours each day crafting a sand mandala representing Green Tara, which remained on display in the Michael C. Carlos Museum. On Sunday, July 24, the community gathered for a closing ceremony for the mandala, which was then destroyed to symbolize the impermanence of life. See more photos from the ceremony. | |
