DISCOVERY Chemical catalyst turns 'trash' to 'treasure' For decades, chemists have aspired to do carefully controlled chemistry on carbon-hydrogen bonds. Emory chemists have published a method that combines both these factors to make an inert C-H bond reactive — effectively turning chemical "trash" to "treasure." LEADERSHIP Emory monitoring impact of partial government shutdown Emory's Office of Government and Community Affairs is monitoring the partial government shutdown and is in close contact with Georgia's congressional delegation, explaining the local impact and urging a resolution. COMMUNITY Emory purchases Peachtree Street property to increase academic presence in Atlanta Central Atlanta Progress and Emory University jointly announce the sale of 477 Peachtree St. to the university, effective Dec. 21, 2018.
