Chidiebere Ibe has become a sensation thanks to his revolutionary medical illustrations. After graduating with a degree in chemistry from University of Uyo, the twenty-five-year-old Nigerian medical student began working with Dr. Ulrick Sidney Kanmounye.

Are there more doors or wheels in the world? This seemingly arbitrary question sparked a heated debate on TikTok earlier in March. Users avidly chose sides, sharing their opinions on the topic. #TeamDoors has thus far received over 55 million views on the app, but #TeamWheels takes the lead with a massive 137 million views. Whether the world has more doors or wheels may remain forever unknown, but students at Nyack still have their own thoughts to contribute to the debate.
As the holidays are rapidly approaching, one of the most beneficial things you could do for yourself and the community is shopping locally. Nyack is known for its local shops and attractions. Local shops add to the charm and appeal of our village.
I interviewed shop owner Laura Graham to get a closer look at this topic. Graham is one of three women who owns Archive Home on Broadway. She curates all of the clothing at Archive, which is all second hand, making it even more sustainable for the environment.
Across the country, more students are driving or walking to school than ever before as a result of a nationwide bus driver shortage.
There are various reasons for the shortage, one being that there is a general labor shortage across many industries which makes it difficult for bus companies to hire new drivers. In addition, many bus drivers do not want to return to work and risk getting COVID, particularly because students under twelve are not eligible for vaccination.
