SNP introduces NYC public high school students to modern brain research. About 20 participants attend interactive lectures, read and present a scientific paper, dissect a brain, design their own neuroscience experiment and visit research labs.

One of the solutions to the housing crisis can be found in our backyards, our attics, or our basements - in an Ancillary Dwelling Unit.

There was a time I thought I'd spend the rest of my life in New York. After more than a decade in Manhattan, the streets felt like my own, and my identity felt entwined with the city. Even after having two babies on the Upper West Side, I was constantly plotting and planning on how we could make this lifestyle work long-term.

"I believe an event like that would be a great idea, as it allows the Port Richmond area an opportunity to showcase all the wonderful businesses that call it home," Lopez said.
