GLIF Telemedicine Demo: Up Close and Personal, From Thousands of Miles Away

Health & Behavior

With mobile devices in every back pocket and lab coat, it’s a given that patients and their physicians need not be in the same room to interact. But a proof-of-concept demonstration at the University of California, San Diego this week showed that with the right network and visualization technologies, patients need not even be in the same time zone as their physicians in order to obtain a face-to-face medical opinion.

‘Ditch the 2° C Warming Goal’

Business & Economics

As climate instability increases across the planet, limiting global surface air temperature increase above pre-industrial levels to an average of 2° C (3.6° F) has become a popular metric for success in the public eye.

Gorder Walk 5K to Promote Melanoma Awareness on October 11

Health & Behavior

It was out of tragedy that Charles Gorder was inspired to start a movement to illuminate and help counter the pervasive and dangerous role of melanoma. In 1993, he launched the Bruce Gorder 5K UC San Diego Walk for Melanoma in honor of his late son who lost a seven-year battle with the deadly skin cancer at age 37. Today, it is still the only 5K dedicated to raising funds for melanoma research in San Diego. The event has grown exponentially over the past two decades, garnering over $1.3 million to support melanoma research, treatment and education at UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center. This year the 21st Annual Gorder Walk will take place on Oct. 11.

Diabetes in a Dish

Health & Behavior

Researchers at University of California, San Diego School of Medicine are co-recipients of a $4.1-million grant from the National Institutes of Health to advance treatments for type 1 diabetes. Using human stem cells, the team plans to culture bits of human pancreas in a dish and, using microfluidics, mimic blood flow through the islet.

Engineers complete first comprehensive mesh-free numerical simulation of skeletal muscle tissue

Science & Environment

Engineers at the University of California, San Diego, have completed the first comprehensive numerical simulation of skeletal muscle tissue using a method that uses the pixels in an image as data points for the computer simulation—a method known as mesh-free simulation.
