But for now, he just wants that stick bridge to hold up. In the packed gym, Denner meets up with Antonio behind dozens of students with dozens of bridges. At the front of the line, volunteers crank two hydraulic presses that bear down on each bridge and measure the weight at which each gives way. Denner and Antonio peek around taller

The feeling of being so small, yet part of a universe so big, was the inspiration behind her vocational choice: to educate others about the universe and the world around them.

She enjoys Bryant Park (when it’s sunny out), New York Public Library (lovely painted ceilings, an oasis in the heart of midtown Manhattan) The Poets’ House (a hidden gem—a poetry library that feels like a peaceful living room with a view of the Hudson River), the Dear Mama Coffee House in East Harlem (THE BEST CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES), and Brooklyn College Library (spacious reading rooms).
