Liebermann's pioneering research on underwater sound made a significant contribution to submarine detection during World War II. His subsequent work at UC San Diego identified physical properties of sea water that can muffle sound and limit SONAR performance.
Alcohol itself can directly damage liver cells. Now researchers at University of California, San Diego School of Medicine report evidence that alcohol is also harmful to the liver for a second reason — it allows gut bacteria to migrate to the liver, promoting alcohol-induced liver disease. The study,…
