'Life' - Critically Reviewed
The concept of "life" has been debated by philosophers, scientists, and theologians for centuries. Despite the numerous definitions and explanations that have been offered, a definitive understanding of what life is remains elusive. In this critical review, I will explore various perspectives on what constitutes life, the implications of these definitions, and the limitations of our current understanding.

Coyotes on Martha's Vineyard
I live on the small island of Martha's Vineyard off of the southeastern coast of Cape Cod, Massachusssetts. Our little island has long been renowned for its peaceful nature and distinct lack of apex predators. We have bird of prey here like Red Tail Hawks, Osprey, Perregrine Falcons and the occasioal migratory Bald Eagle sighting (I think...don't quote me on that) but never before have we had what's called an apex predator - a large predator at the top of its food chain without something else that would naturally prey on it. Examples of apex predators are bears and wolves, but in Southeastern Massachusetts, coyotes are as big and bad as it gets for the most part. Still, the island had never had a coyote population, or at least hasn't had one in a very long time. Over the years you'd occasionally hear about individual coyotes swimming from the mainland or other neighboring islands like the Elizabeth islands. The majority of them didn't survive the swim and would wash up dead on shore, although a few individuals did make it over but were probably shot and killed or decided to leave the island and swim away, as the sightings were short-lived.

Are Chemical Sunscreens Banned Where You Are Going?
Recently, we learned that chemical sunscreens are banned in the US Virgin Islands (USVI). We learned this when we registered to take a snorkeling trip on a catamaran to the shores of St. John and Little St. James Islands. We were already on St. Thomas. It would have been helpful to know this beforehand. As they say nowadays, “my bad.”

Renewable Energy Revolution
Renewable Energy Revolution: The Impacts and Opportunities Energy is a crucial aspect of human life and civilization. However, the traditional sources of energy such as coal, oil, and natural gas are finite and non-renewable. These sources are also causing severe environmental problems, such as climate change and air pollution, that are leading to a decline in the quality of life for people around the world. This has led to the increasing importance of renewable energy as a cleaner, sustainable alternative.
