Elisabeth Haub School of Law

Bennett Gershman, law professor at Pace University whose 1985 book “Prosecutorial Misconduct” has been referenced by scholars for decades, said the ethics complaint against Gardner is “nonsense.”  “It’s just a total train wreck,” Gershman said, after reading the filings in the ethics case. “Very little to do with the facts. Very little to do with law. Very little to do with ethics. Almost everything to do with politics.”

META YOUR MAKER Metaverse experts reveal if you can MURDER someone in virtual world – and whether you can be punished if you’re violent

They’re written to protect “real, living people,” said John Bandler, who teaches cyber security and cyber crime at New York’s Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University. The law isn’t meant to protect avatars or software codes, which populate the metaverse. “I would view it more like speech or expression; less as a physical act against a person,” Bandler said.

People Who Have Actually Found Their "Perfect Match" On A Dating App Are Sharing Their Best Tips For Doing Exactly That

Dyson College of Arts and Science

"Think of all your dating app profiles as your 'brand' — and keep them consistent throughout. Jana Hocking on her podcast Kinda Sorta Dating mentioned how she matched with her partner on several platforms before they finally decided to get together. With the way online dating app usage is increasing, this might happen to you, too. If a potential match sees you on Hinge and then again on Bumble and sees completely different versions of you, it might confuse them. So keep it consistent and keep it authentic." —Aditi Paul, Ph.D., professor and online dating researcher at Pace University

DNP Alum Advances healthcare through clinical research

College of Health Professions

“I was fortunate enough to work with a physician and participate in clinical trials that changed the fate of HIV from a death sentence to a chronic illness like asthma and diabetes. This is what ignited my passion for clinical research.”

Olivia Fratta

Lienhard School of Nursing alumna Una Hopkins, DNP, '12, has made a difference in critical patient care and clinical research throughout her 36 years in the field. Una was enrolled in LSN’s Doctor of Nursing Practice program under the leadership of Joanne Singleton, PhD, RN, FNP-BC, and felt the support of her fellow students and faculty every step of the way. Una is currently the Director of Nursing Research at Montefiore Medical Center, Bronx, New York.

Una's career has led her down many different paths, all of which have allowed her to influence the care of patients in many ways. Una started her journey as a registered nurse on the oncology floor at Westchester County Medical Center, working the night shift for several years along with 13 shifts a month. This resulted in Una missing many holidays, but it also allowed her to find her passion, working with patients and their families. “These were some of the best times; being there for patients that could not be with their families was such a privilege. It was during these times when I realized how important my work as a nurse was, touching lives and being with people during their most vulnerable times.”

As a driven medical professional with the goal of making a difference in patients' lives, Una continued her career and began to participate in clinical trials for people diagnosed with HIV. While working at Montefiore, she ran clinical trials for many years. “I was fortunate enough to work with a physician and participate in clinical trials that changed the fate of HIV from a death sentence to a chronic illness like asthma and diabetes. This is what ignited my passion for clinical research.”

As a result, Una has focused the remainder of her career on research. She has participated in studying many diseases ranging from breast, lung, head, and neck cancers, all while continuing her work in the field of HIV cancers such as lymphoma and Kaposi’s.

Una’s passion for all aspects of the medical field did not end there; she then moved into administration and aided in the creation of the Center for Cancer Care in White Plains, including bringing research to the community setting. She eventually found herself back at Montefiore to develop a nursing research program and facilitate the magnet journey. Along the way she has played her part in teaching students at both NYU and at Pace.

As an inspiring medical professional, Una recommends working at Montefiore to all students. “Like many health systems, Montefiore is large and affords many opportunities to advance one's career. The bedside nurse has a voice and a seat at important tables through shared governance,” said Una.
