As a young man in his mid-20s, Jorge Gómez was one of thousands of Cuban citizens who fled Communism and the island country on a raft in 1994. He would spend 11 months living in a tent city at Guantanamo Bay before being granted asylum into the U.S., where he overcame countless obstacles to build a better life as an engineer and father of four boys. Patience, perseverance, and an eternal sense of optimism sustained him throughout his journey, he says. And it served him well in 2021 when, during a routine visit to his primary care physician, a cancerous growth in his esophagus was discovered. Heeding his doctor’s recommendation, he sought the help of Markus Goldschmiedt, M.D., Clinical Associate Professor of Internal Medicine at UT Southwestern Medical Center, who was building a reputation as one of only a handful of specialists in Dallas-Fort Worth who could offer a highly complex procedure known as endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD).

Researchers have used the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) to map nearly six million galaxies across 11 billion years of cosmic history, allowing them to study how galaxies clustered throughout time and investigate the growth of the cosmic structure. This complex analysis of DESI’s first-year data provides one of the most stringent tests yet of Einstein’s general theory of relativity.
