Utah's graphics pioneers
University of Utah

Ed Catmull. John Warnock. Jim Clark. Alan Kay. Ivan Sutherland. Martin Newell. They are just a handful of the luminaries in the late 1960s and 1970s who revolutionized computer graphics by inventing technologies that have aided and shaped countless industries today. For the first time ever, these and other legends of that time will be reuniting on the U campus Thursday, March 23, and Friday March 24, to commemorate their roles as 3D-graphics pioneers and to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the U’s Kahlert School of Computing.

Penn Medicine Research Suggests More Cancers Can Be Treated with Drugs Than Previously Believed
Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania

Up to 50 percent of cancer-signaling proteins once believed to be immune to drug treatments due to a lack of targetable protein regions may actually be treatable, according to a new study from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. The findings, published this month in Nature Communications, suggest there may be new opportunities to treat cancer with new or existing drugs.
