FUNDING The Goizueta Foundation makes $30 million gift to Goizueta Business School The largest gift in the history of Emory's business school will support investments in business and society, innovation, and global education, providing an even stronger foundation for Goizueta students in crucial areas of business education. RESEARCH Emory psychologists explore acoustics of a primal human call: the scream Screams are prompted by a variety of emotions, from surprise to terror. But no matter what sparks them, human screams share distinctive acoustic parameters that listeners are attuned to, suggests a new study from the lab of psychologist Harold Gouzoules. INVOLVEMENT University recognized for student voter turnout in midterm elections Both the Atlanta and Oxford campuses recently received awards for high student participation during the 2018 midterm elections. Volunteers hope to further increase involvement by faculty, staff and students in 2020. HEALTH How cells respond to treadmill test can predict cardiac outcomes Future outcomes can be predicted by signs of cardiac stress that appear in the blood in response to exercise, Emory cardiologists report. CONNECTIONS New English faculty bring expertise in digital humanities Professors Lauren Klein and Dan Sinykin are pioneers in the emerging field of applying quantitative methods to literary analysis. Their work uses computers to help spot patterns in massive amounts of literature, unearthing never-told stories.
