The Relationship of Dissolved Oxygen Levels and Species Diversity and Observation Frequency of Bivalves in New York City Waters

Bivalves, like mussels and oysters, play an important ecological role as filter feeders by filtering out algae, bacteria, and pollution to keep our waterways clean, but have died out in estuaries like NYC Harbor due to overconsumption and pollution. We examine the relationship between harbor water quality and the observation frequency and diversity of bivalves in hopes of determining the best ways to protect them.

The Real Fake Italiano

Mamma Mia Pizzaria! Italians tend to cling to Columbus but why should we want a monster to represent us? I have made my own monument (and video to show it) which is both more Italian than Columbus is but also represents how Italian culture has been lost in the process of assimilation. Enjoy!
