It's consistently among the top recipients of NIH funding. Researchers at ICONMount Sinai have made breakthrough discoveries in many

fields vital to advancing the health of patients, including cancer, COVID and long COVID,

cardiology, neuroscience, and artificial intelligence.

The Icon School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, we find a way.

This is the science podcast for December 1st, 2023. I'm Sarah Crespi.

First up on the show, a basic approach to geoengineering.

Contributing correspondent Warren Cornwall discusses research into increasing the alkalinity of the surface of the ocean as a way to capture more carbon and slow climate change. Big questions about this tactic remain,
