When funding cuts came — these scientists turned to journalism
Graphic by Angie Cho Federally funded science made it possible for Isako Di Tomassi to become a scientist. And without it, she might have never become one.

Graphic by Angie Cho It’s not the cheapest time to be a college student. The total student loan debt in the U.S. is nearly $2 trillion, affecting a staggering 42.5 million Americans.

Despite Flo Rida being the headliner, most people were seemingly more excited to see melodic rapper Fetty Wap — making it one of his first performances in years.
SBU silently changes language surrounding ICE operations on campus
Graphic by Steven Ospina Delgado Stony Brook University is, for many, a place of opportunity. Over 3,400 international students travel from around the globe to receive their education from New York’s #1 public university.
