Home Sleep Endoscopy: Evaluating the Feasiblity of a Remote Diagnostic Tool
1 Introduction Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) affects nearly one billion people worldwide [1]. It is characterized by recurrent upper airway collapse during sleep, often requiring precise localization of obstruction sites to guide treatment [2]. Natural sleep endoscopy (NSE) is the gold standard for evaluating airway collapse under physiological sleep but is limited by its labor-intensive nature [3].

Dial M for Matchmaker
FICTION In a world where love is a call away, the line between the present and the future blurs. There was something inherently amusing about the idea that one could dial a number and be granted a sneak peek into the intricacies of their love life. If someone had told me a year ago that my mundane existence as a professional matchmaker would turn into a hotline to the future, I would have laughed in their face — sardonically, of course.
Thomas Sorber will explore NBA Draft option
Freshman Thomas Sorber, star forward for Georgetown men’s basketball, announced on Instagram that he is testing out the NBA Draft process, while maintaining college eligibility. Sorber wrote that he wants “to receive feedback from NBA teams” while considering whether to play professionally or return to Georgetown next year. Despite a season-ending injury, Sorber averaged 14.5 points and 8.5 rebounds per game this season, winning BIG EAST Freshman of the Week seven times.
Georgetown loses as No. 24/25 Creighton’s threes fly high in Omaha
Georgetown women’s basketball (11-14, 4-10 BIG EAST) lost big versus the No. 24/25 Creighton Bluejays (21-4, 13-1 BIG EAST) 70-48 on Feb. 15. After the Hoyas gave the Bluejays some fits early, the senior-laden Bluejays roster rose up and took down the Hoyas on Creighton’s senior night. In a game that started out as a defensive battle, graduate guard Kelsey Ransom owned the first quarter of play.
Hoyas parley elite defense, strong fourth quarter to runaway win at Xavier
Georgetown women’s basketball (11-11, 4-7 BIG EAST) won in impressive fashion versus the Xavier Musketeers (6-17, 1-11 BIG EAST) 63-36 on Feb. 5. Allowing their fewest points against a Division I opponent all-season, the Hoyas dominated the woeful Musketeers on the road from start to finish. In a game that was never really close, the Hoyas came out of the gates firing, with a triple by freshman guard Khadee Hession to open the scoring.
The show does not roll on; Hoyas lose to Xavier despite 44 points from Peavy and Sorber
Georgetown men’s basketball (14-9, 5-7 BIG EAST) lost a tight contest against the Xavier Musketeers (14-9, 6-6 BIG EAST) 74-69 at the Cintas Center on Feb. 4. Despite another excellent performance from the duo of freshman forward Thomas Sorber and graduate guard Micah Peavy, the Hoyas found themselves on the losing side of a tight game. In an important battle for position in the BIG EAST standings, both Georgetown and Xavier came into this one with a lot to play for, and it showed.
Unrivaled: A slam dunk for women’s sports?
A fresh look has arrived on the scene of women’s basketball. Unrivaled Basketball League, a 3v3 professional women’s league, evokes the authentic, youthful, and joyful experience of playing pickup on a blacktop court. Based in Miami, Fla., Unrivaled features six teams competing in round-robin style matchups over eight weeks, culminating in a week of playoffs. The league’s inaugural season, which launched Jan.
Washington Wizards need mid-season sorcery amidst six-game skid
The Toronto Raptors (14-32) trounced the Washington Wizards (6-39) 106-82 in a match-up of the NBA’s bottom-of-the-barrel teams. Capital One Arena, a little over half full on Wednesday Jan. 30, stayed remarkably quiet throughout the game. Aside from a few dunks, there weren’t many impressive shots (by the Wizards, at least), hardly any noteworthy passes, and a general haze of moroseness blanketing the arena.

First-place Johnnies eviscerate hapless Hoyas in pathetic performance
Georgetown men’s basketball (13-8, 4-6 BIG EAST) was completely unwatchable in a blowout loss to the No. 15 St. John’s Red Storm (18-3, 9-1 BIG EAST) at Capital One Arena on Jan. 28. With the Hoyas on a 1-5 skid and in desperate need of a win, they put up no fight in an embarrassing loss to their conference rival. It’s never easy to beat a top-15 team in the country, especially one that stands atop your conference in wins.
Women’s basketball struggles against multidimensional Marquette offense
Georgetown women’s basketball (10-10, 3-6 BIG EAST) fell to the Marquette Golden Eagles (13-6, 5-3 BIG EAST) on the road 75-58 on Saturday, Jan. 25. The Hoyas struggled to stop the Golden Eagles’ high-powered offense, and three Marquette players ended up with 18 or more points. Graduate guard Kelsey Ransom, leading scorer in the BIG EAST, opened the scoring for the Hoyas with a short jumper. However, the Golden Eagles completely overwhelmed the Hoyas in the first quarter.
A look back on Georgetown’s fall athletics season
As the spring semester begins, the Voice looks back on the highlights and lowlights from all the active fall sports last semester. Nine women’s teams and eight men’s teams competed for Georgetown over 10 different disciplines in the busiest season for Hoya sports, providing plenty of inspiring, or, at minimum, entertaining storylines. Cross Country Georgetown’s men’s and women’s cross country teams had a strong 2024 season, capped off by competing at the NCAA Championships in November.
A tale of two halves: Strong second half powers Georgetown to dominant win against Wagner
Most of Georgetown’s student body has checked out and gone home for Thanksgiving break. In the first half, the Hoyas offense seemed checked out as well. Winning the ball at the top, the Hoyas immediately met a swarming Wagner defense that would pester them for the entire first half, with a focus on forcing Georgetown’s starting backcourt (sophomore Malik Mack and junior Jayden Epps) into turnovers and tough shots. Early on, it worked like a charm.
Hoyas horrific on both sides of the ball in blowout loss to Notre Dame
On Nov. 16, Georgetown men’s basketball (2–1, BIG EAST) could’ve built a village with all the bricks they laid on the rim as they lost in blowout fashion to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish (3–0, ACC), 84–63, in a game coach Ed Cooley’s squad will want to forget in short order. The game started out back and forth as both teams played through their frontcourt on offense, with all four starters getting in the scoring column in the games opening minutes.
Now a Junior, Jayden Epps looks to lead both on and off the floor
It’s safe to say that nobody in the Georgetown men’s basketball program was happy with how last season went. After finishing the 2023-24 season second to last in the BIG EAST, with losses to Holy Cross and Rutgers, and a KenPom finish of 192nd nationally—the second worst in the Hoyas’ history, narrowly beating out the 2022-23 team—the Hoyas performance on the court was disappointing from start to finish.
Meet the new players: Men’s basketball
Malik Mack | Sophomore – G 2024 Ivy League Rookie of the Year and D.C. native Malik Mack returns to the DMV after a standout freshman year at Harvard, where he started in 24 games, averaging 33.2 minutes, 4.8 assists, and 4.0 rebounds per game. The 6-foot-2 lefty guard has a deep range from behind the arc and a demonstrated knack for scoring. Mack averaged 17.2 points per game at Harvard with a 34.1% 3-point shooting percentage.
It may be November, but men's basketball still given a scare in its season opener
On Nov. 6, Georgetown men’s basketball (1-0, BIG EAST) won in hard-fought fashion against the Lehigh Mountain Hawks (0-2, Patriot League), 85-77, in front of a small but mightily packed crowd at McDonough Arena. After waiting all offseason to play some real basketball, save a couple of closed-door scrimmages, fans had high energy levels for the Hoyas from the opening tip.
Cavaliers 135, Wizards 116: Washington’s Bilal Coulibaly shines in loss to Cleveland
The Washington Wizards (0-2) fall to the Cleveland Cavaliers (3-0) 135-116. As the doors of Capital One opened to the second game of the Wizards season, the team debuted their new black and red “district” jerseys for their matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers, looking to course correct after their loss to the NBA Champion Boston Celtics. While Washington ultimately did not pull off the win, the Wizards’ rookies showed promising flashes, giving hope for this rebuilding season.
The role of proper trash management for a cleaner campus and world
Organizing trash is an extremely necessary and key practice that students at Woodside, and people at home, must participate in to help the environment, according to students and staff. On Woodside's campus, trash is separated into three categories: garbage, recycling and compost. This year, new signs were introduced in the quad and were placed above the trash cans to label trash cans and show examples of what goes into each bin.
Women’s soccer stomps Seton Hall 5-0
Georgetown women’s soccer (6-1-3, 2-0 BIG EAST) dominated the Seton Hall Pirates (3-6-2, 0-1-1 BIG EAST) 5-0 on Thursday Sept. 26 at Shaw Field in their second game of conference play. The Hoyas played excellently on both sides of the ball, and the final result never looked in doubt. Junior forward Henley Tippins scored a brace—her highest scoring tally on the season. The Hoyas dominated possession early in the match, and found a lot of success out on the wings.

Amid a wave of queer TV cancelations, one fandom is fighting back
On the evening of April 11, at the end of primetime, hundreds of voices counted down under their breath. Their fingers hovered over their keyboards, their eyes fixed to the screen, as they prepared to send a unified message. The silence broke at 10 p.m., when a mass of messages flooded X, formerly known as Twitter, to celebrate the 100th episode of Station 19 (2019-2024), a spin-off of the popular drama Grey’s Anatomy (2005-present).
Privacy is Dead, and We Killed It: Confessions of an Over-Sharer
Digital Spill Living in the age of ‘TMI’ and loving every (overshared) moment of it. Remember those days when sharing too much information was a social faux pas? Yeah, me neither. I grew up riding the wave from MySpace glitz to Facebook’s “It’s complicated” relationship status, before sliding into the DMs of Instagram, where life is a perfectly curated collection of moments. Somewhere along the line, the line between private and public blurred faster than a Snapchat story at a Friday night party.

When holy bread met holy grail, and fish was more than just a tale. Imagine stumbling upon the trendiest underground dining experience, so exclusive it predates Instagram by a couple of millennia. That’s right, we’re talking about The Last Supper, the original secret supper club that had more buzz than a beehive on a hot summer day, but with zero online reviews — until now. The venue was, frankly, a bit of a letdown.

How Small Acts of Kindness At Work Made a Big Impact
The unexpected ways compassion shapes us In the grand, unpredictable theatre of life, it’s the small, almost unnoticed acts of kindness that often leave the deepest imprints on our souls.

When “It’s not me, it’s definitely you” becomes a mantra.

It’s time for an eviction notice.

What if Romeo and Juliet Had Texting?
Modern love’s not dead, it’s just on read. Imagine, if you will, a world where Shakespeare’s star-crossed lovers had the power of texting at their fingertips. Ah, the tragedy that could have been averted with a simple “U up?” But no, we’re not here to rewrite classics — just to poke a bit of fun at them with our thoroughly modern, slightly dirty minds. First off, Romeo, our lovesick hero, wouldn’t have had to loiter under Juliet’s balcony like some kind of Elizabethan Peeping Tom.
The Shadow Artist
When the walls whisper futures, only shadows can paint the truth. In the labyrinth of concrete and neon that shapes the heart of the city, where the air vibrates with the unceasing hum of life and the night never really falls, there lived an artist whose canvas was the world itself. His name was Kai, a whisper on the lips of the few who knew the true value of the murals that appeared overnight like dreams etched onto the waking world.

A Guide to Being a Man, According to Andrew Tate
When life gives you Tate, make it satire. Ah, the journey of manhood, a path so befuddled with machismo and bravado that even the GPS of life itself throws up its virtual hands in despair, declaring, “You’re on your own, buddy.” Enter the man, the myth, the meme: Andrew Tate, a figure so polarizing, he’s the human equivalent of pineapple on pizza. Some love him, some… well, let’s just say they’d prefer to leave him out of the recipe.

Mastering the chill life without actually becoming a monk. Ah, the sweet, sweet aroma of giving fewer figs as we age — like a fine wine, or perhaps more like that leftover pizza you swear tastes better the next day.
