Today instead of talking about food, I'm going to talk about something closely related to food consumption - insulin! This summer, I am conducting research as part of a summer undergraduate research program at NYU. The lab I am working in studies Parkinson's disease, particularly relationships between different hormones and neurotransmitters in Parkinson's disease, and recently they have been ...
Power Breakfast!
Happy Friday everyone! At last! I'm off to Batavia, NY today for a family reunion, so I'm especially excited for this weekend! One of the features of our family reunion is a 5K. I was planning on training a a little more intensely than I have been in preparation for this event, but the excitement and distractions of NY impinged slightly on those plans. That said, I went on a brief run with a ...
Adventure to Maman
Yesterday I checked out a cute little bakery cafe called Maman - and I will definitely be back!

I particularly love coffee shops and bakeries, and could squander a lot of money there quite easily. However, I'm also quite productive in such places - I love ...
Acai Bowls and More Kale

I had just checked out four books ...

After a workout in the basement gym of my building, I showered and headed off. I was planning to get spinach, but saw kale and was intrigued, so I picked up a big bunch of it for only $3. I thought about getting radishes too, but couldn’t find the $1 ones I’d ...
A Reading Date in Central Park
This past Sunday, my friend, Elizabeth, and I went to Central Park to read. While we only met two weeks ago, we quickly realized we share a love of reading and good books, and thought it would be fun to spend some time reading in Central Park together. We had a thirty or forty-minute walk there, chatting and catching up, and then found a nice spot underneath a tree to settle down. I think ...
