RECOGNITION Emory tops U.S. News hospital rankings for metro Atlanta and Georgia For the ninth consecutive year, U.S. News and World Report has ranked Emory University Hospital the No. 1 hospital in Georgia and metro Atlanta in its 2020-2021 Best Hospitals guide. Emory Saint Joseph’s Hospital ranked No. 2 in Georgia and metro Atlanta; Emory University Hospital Midtown ranked No. 5 in both regions. RESEARCH Nationwide 'All of Us' health database now available to Emory researchers The "All of Us" research program has opened the researcher workbench platform for investigators at select institutions, including Emory. The beta version will enable researchers to begin exploring the program’s initial dataset and tools for use in a wide range of analyses. NATURE Butterfly genomics: Biologists show how monarchs fly differently, but meet and mate Eastern and western monarch butterflies may differ when migrating to their overwintering sites, but a new study from the lab of Emory biologist Jaap de Roode confirms that the two groups are genetically the same -- which means the varieties mate more often than previously thought. SERVICE Marsteller’s legacy of masterful mentorship, advocacy in the sciences continues Patricia Marsteller, who retires Aug. 1, has been a fierce and early advocate of programs to encourage undergraduate science research and study, especially for students who are underrepresented in STEM fields.
