    Unearthing Human Ancestry

    For Stony Brook researcher Isaiah Nengo, paleontology is a lot like gambling. Many long days of field work in Kenya’s arid and barren Turkana Basin reveal very little. Most of the time, Nengo walks away empty-handed...

    #Repost @somas.sbu: Are you prepared for the #sharknado6 in the forecast for this weekend?  Did you know that the @somas.sbu at @stonybrooku has a minor in #Sharknado Studies*? Go #farbeyond the oceans and the clouds, and now travel through #history at Stony Brook University! . For students interested in studying the increased frequency of shark-infested cyclonic activity, #StonyBrookU offers a minor* in #SharknadoStudies, designed for those most interested in the relationship between marine predators and atmospheric phenomena. The Sharknado Studies minor is an easy way to transition into a track in a number of science fields within individual science majors, including #Environmental #Biology, and #Marine and #Atmospheric #Sciences. . Our researchers are in the field and with the help of @sbu_specarch have discovered that #budgetsharkweek was captured in various moments in our campus history! . Keep it tuned here for future reports! The adventures will also be chronicled at http://somas.stonybrook.edu/sharknado *the classes offered are real, the minor is not. 🌊🦈🙌💯#summeratsbu #newtosbu #summer #summertime
    The "Tower to Heaven" sculpture above the @charlesb.wangcenter is a concept both ancient and modern. Four slender silver gray poles hold seven layers of silver-gray panels, each layer composed of eight sides in an octagon. Traditional pagodas always have an odd number of stories. Each odd number has a different meaning in different Asian cultures, but all the meanings are positive. The poles reach high into the sky just as the rooftop poles of Bali’s ‘puras’ and Japanese Shinto shrines do, casting shadows on each other, a testament to perfect engineering. 😲🙌👀💯 #SBUsnapshots #FarBeyond #SummerAtSBU #Summer #Summertime #TowerToHeaven
    @sbu_pd held an active shooter simulation at one of #StonyBrookU’s residence halls to train our RAs today. Check out our story to see what they went through. #summer #summertime #summeratsbu #newtosbu
