Spotted Lanternflies have taken over the east coast and we are tasked with squishing them on sight. But how do these pests pose a threat to our city, specifically agriculture?
An exploration of the enduring issues faced by women and how social and political issues surrounding women have implemented themselves into art
Ginkgo trees are impressively resilient plants with long lifespans and strong resistances to drought, diseases, pollution, and poor soil. We investigate whether or not ginkgo trees significantly improve air quality.
Every year each team in the NBA creates city edition uniforms. These uniforms are supposed to represent the cities that the teams play in. This year the Brooklyn Nets made their city edition uniforms inspire by Brooklyn born artist Jean- Michel Basquiat. Basquiat is known for his raw, messy art with graffiti like text, and that is exactly what the Brooklyn Nets put on their jerseys this year.
Highlighting the late Jean-Michel Basquiat and his contributions to NYC’s art scene; which propelled the genre of Neo-expressionism and spoke to larger sociopolitical systems.

This collection of art symbolizes the socioeconomic and political issues in the United States, all connected through the common theme of breaking barriers.
Climate and temperature changes may greatly affect species that depend on environmental cues for reproduction, migration, and hibernation triggers. The purpose of this study was to test if migration patterns of monarch butterflies were affected by changing climates in New York, specifically in Central Park. We hypothesized that in a changing climate, there would be changes to monarch butterfly phenology and their migration patterns. We predicted that if monarch butterflies are responding to a warmer climate by migrating later, then there would be a later decline in the number of sightings. The data we observed does support our hypothesis. Using iNaturalist data, we observed that most sightings of monarch butterflies were recorded in August. Furthermore, through this study, we’ve determined that citizen data is useful and can lead to significant findings.
Parks have always been a part of people’s lives. However, the history of our parks is not so clean and bright, as Jane Jacobs’ book argues—because of their presence in the eyes of an architect’s establishment for a growth in surrounding values, some actually are used and diverse places for numerous uses.
