Congratulations to the four Cardinal selected in the 2026 MLB Draft: Aidan Keenan, Rintaro Sasaki, Eric Jeon, and Cort MacDonald were picked in this year’s draft, Stanford's largest class since nine players were selected in 2023. https://f.mtr.cool/ubatoyelcf

What if AI could design the perfect burger? Researchers have developed a tool that creates burger recipes tailored for taste, nutrition, and sustainability. The implications extend far beyond food, opening possibilities for science and personalized design. https://f.mtr.cool/cvkjvrirjo

What happens when two companion stars both explode? Evidence has been found of a rare pair of sibling supernovas, offering new clues about how stars evolve and die, and opening a new window into the history of our universe. https://f.mtr.cool/vicbzcklol

We had a wonderful time celebrating America's 250th anniversary at The Hub with an afternoon of ice cream, music, and summer fun.

Our community members enjoyed ice cream sundaes, refreshing lemonade, and live music in a festive outdoor setting. The event was a great opportunity to connect with colleagues and neighbors while commemorating this historic milestone together.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this special afternoon at Stanford Research Park.

It’s go time! Renovations have begun to convert 975 Page Mill Rd into an innovation hub for Stanford-affiliated entrepreneurs.

Join us at The Hub, 3215 Porter Drive, on Wednesday, July 8, from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM to help support patients in our community by donating blood.

As a thank you for your donation, you'll receive a commemorative T-shirt. Register: https://bit.ly/4gTyp1w

We rarely think of hurricanes and Southern California in the same sentence. But new research suggests that assumption may no longer hold. What could a changing climate mean for the future of one of America's most populated regions? https://f.mtr.cool/fuewoubyfx

Consumer wearables have become part of everyday life, but how much do they really know about our health? It was insightful to hear Stanford HAI Fellow Ziv Lautman explore the science behind devices like the Apple Watch, Oura Ring, and Fitbit, separating what today's wearables can reliably measure from where the technology is still evolving.

One of the most interesting takeaways was the potential for these devices to move beyond tracking activity and sleep toward detecting early signs of health conditions such as stress, heart disease, and menopause.

As wearable technology continues to advance, it has the potential to transform how we monitor health, enabling earlier intervention and more personalized care.

A new chapter in cancer care has begun at Stanford Medicine. Recently, a 7-year-old patient became the first person treated at the new proton therapy facility, marking an important milestone for patients and families across Northern California. The innovative technology is designed to deliver highly targeted treatment while reducing radiation exposure to healthy tissue, helping make advanced cancer care more accessible for those who need it most. https://f.mtr.cool/zmtsclcujq

Are you getting enough fiber? Only 5% of American adults meet the daily recommended intake for fiber, and the consequences go well beyond digestion. Here’s what nutrition researchers want you to know. https://f.mtr.cool/wueovdktcs
