SARAS Graduate

An article in the Stony Brook University News featured Ethan Ertel ’22, an undergraduate Biomedical Engineering student who is a member of the University Scholars Program. When he was in high school, Ethan attended the SARAS (Science and Research Awareness Series) program, organized by Dr. Srinivas Pentyala. This was a pivotal moment in Ethan's future. “They talked to us about what they do, simply to expose us to the different fields that health science has to offer,” Read the full article here.

Farewell ShellyAnn!

Poetry Corner

Anesthetized

Shayla Mena, MD

The last implore:
“Take good care of me”
And a symphony of tears,
I’d later wipe from your eyes
When the ventilator is breathing for you.

I’ve seen you
Lost within the rabbit hole
“Alice?” I’d call,
As if those eyes would open.

If you only knew,
How gentle I’m being
Gently peeling the dressing
Off your forehead,
And ever so slowly
Removing the probe
That is sitting in your esophagus.

I inspect my colleague
Beyond the drape
The handiwork, an imminent finale at hand.
Here is the time,
When we must get ready.
But, the insecurity of it all;

Will you have pain?
Will you buck or flail?
All those hours upon hours,
Did I stop the pumps in time?

I’m afraid to give anything.
I’m afraid to not give you more.
We never know Alice,
What you may perchance to dream.
