Stony Brook University Now a Top 40 Institution and other Highlights

Congratulations to my Alma Mater who is now a member of the Top 40 universities in the USA. Stony Brook University has inched up quite a bit and now holds the 39th spot on the QS World University Rankings list.   I’m so proud of my Alma Mater who's been steadily rising up the ranks hanging right there in the radar of the top universities in the USofA.  Stony Brook also has the #1 spot for public universities in New York and is number 13 on the list of Best Public Universities in the US.




I’m also proud to announce that we have a new young Seawolf on our hands.  Congratulations to my little brother who has just graduated from a private school here in NYC.   He was offered scholarships to study at the inaugural Roc Nation School of Music at Long Island University and the electrical engineering program at Syracuse University.  He’s chosen to make Stony Brook home for the next four years and boy did he make a great decision by becoming a newly proclaimed Seawolf!  I can’t tell you how ecstatic I was to hear the news of his acceptance and was glad to pay his registration deposit. He plans to major in Mechanical Engineering. Way to Go Seawolves!!!! It looks like I’ll be paying visits to my old campus soon. Can't believe it's been over a decade.

A leading STEM and Research Institution

Stony Brook has been making some major strides within research, most notably, environmental as well as academics over the last couple of years. Factors that have been included in Stony Brook obtaining their top 39th spot are diversity and internalization, learning experience and research, employability, gender pay gap, university support of UN’s Sustainable development goals and the social impact of the institution.  The number of Fulbright students in a university is also taken into account.  The Fulbright program was established to grant students funding for research and assistantships.  Stony Brook University was named a top producer of Fulbright students in the Chronicle of Greater Schooling’s 2020-2021 record.

Stony Brook University has always been a prime institution for producing high quality research as well as making ground-breaking discoveries.  This year, researchers at  Stony Brook discovered a keratin 17 biomarker to aid in diagnosis of bladder cancer and researchers were also able to discover a neural signal (LPC or Late Positive Complex) that explains how those with autism understand the mental states of others.

Stony Brook Making Moves in the Green World

Stony Brook is a leading institution for environmental studies and they’re playing a key role in the green world.  They’ve chosen to adopt vegan cuisine into meals being served on campus with vegan eatery, Recharged Rooted. The eats are diverse and incorporate African, Indian and Middle Eastern cuisines. At Plantiful, students can select from a salads that are served with a variety of toppings and energizing plant based proteins.  

I was also elated to hear about the Sustainability Studies program, which wasn’t there when I attended.  The program offers undergraduates five majors focused on the environment and sustainability. The institution was able to secure a multi million dollar funding deal to aid in research initiatives focused on wind and energy technology.  In conjunction with the Advanced Energy Research and Technology Center, they'll focus research efforts on conservation, renewable energy and nanotechnology for development of new energy sources.

The FDA has moved to finally ban Red Dye No. 3 from use in food and drugs in America.  Red Dye No. 3 was first determined to be a cancer causing color additive almost 30 years ago.  Studies conducted using labs rats found that they became inflicted with the disease after consuming large amounts of Red dye No. 3.  Thirty years ago, the FDA officially banned Red Dye No. 3 from use in cosmetics but left the door open for it to be used as a color additive in food and prescription drugs.  By January 2027, the FDA has ordered that Red Dye No 3 must be removed from all food in the USA and by 2028--from all drugs.

Fenty Sidestick Is it All that?

Image
The Fenty Side Stick is a 3 in 1 edge styling tool.  It was mentioned in a comprehensive review  of Rihanna's hair line, however, I hadn't yet purchased it.  I wanted to briefly compare The Side Stick to the type of edge brushes that are found in your average beauty store.  The Side Stick arrived in a light orange box with the signature Fenty packaging and logo. On the back of the box, is a photo of the Side Stick.  The photo on the back of the packaging is almost the same length as the Side Stick so the user can get a sense of the actual length of the product.  When it is taken out of the package, the end piece needed to be snapped on. It's a nice rose chrome colored tail which makes for precise parting and creation of swooped styles.  If any of you ladies love your 90s Aaliyah style swooped bangs, the Side Stick is going to get you right every time! It has a duo brush and comb head instead of being at opposite ends like an average edge brush and com...

5 Natural Ingredients For Longevity

The path of aging can be viewed as a bothersome, inevitable part of life to some.  Those invested in the journey  often look to various methods of biohacking as a way to lengthen what can be considered a short life  span.  The average life  expectancy for women is 80 years old and 74 years old for men.  Living to 100  years old may seem inconceivable but the reality is that there are individuals living past 100 years old.   According to the Pew Research Center, our global world is home to 722,000 centenarians most of whom  live in Asian countries such as Japan and China (Schaeffer, 2024).   The number of centenarians currently living is expected to quadruple  over the next 30 years. Will people begin to live past 200 and 300 years old in the near future? As scientific  discoveries continue to be made and longevity focused breakthroughs are attained, humans will live longer and more intelligently.   What are ...
