'I'm honored to share this award with some of my role models, from Eleanor Roosevelt to Gloria Steinem to Meryl Streep,' Brown said during her speech. 'I'm just a nice Jewish girl from Chicago who decided to become a makeup artist. How? Why am I in this room? I'm not sure.' Brown also joked that she hopes 'to tell all the other creative kids that don't get good grades in math and science, there is hope….I'm very honored, especially for someone that got Ds in science to get this science award. It's pretty amazing, but it's really about all the amazing doctors and women that make a big difference.' Ahead of the event, Bush Lauren said: 'I'm very honored to be honored with Bobbi, who's an old friend of mine, and just from an amazing organization doing really important research and clinical care. It's a little surreal, to be honest.' Like Brown, Bush Lauren was humbled by the array of past honorees, which also include Donna Karan, Diane von Furstenberg, Evelyn Lauder and Iris Apfel. Bush Lauren added: '[It's] an honor in itself to be considered amongst those women. For me, I've just been held up and lifted up by so many women, obviously my mom, my family, my sister, my girlfriends and fellow female entrepreneurs have like been my little tribe during the last 20 years of building Feed. Without them and that support Feed certainly would not be here.' While Brown and Bush Lauren were honored for their successes, the focus throughout the event was on the scientific advancements coming out of the college, including Bowman's research on blood stem cells via zebrafish, which respond similarly to humans.

Assessment on sarus crane habitat starts in Bhandara
Nagpur: The ground level assessment of natural water bodies in Bhandara for rejuvenation purposes has started courtesy a unique campaign initiated by deputy conservator of forest Rahul Gawai and the Foundation for Economic and Ecological Development (Feed). The forest department and Feed have joined hands to improve the habitat quality in 24 water bodies so that sarus cranes get suitable to TOI, Feed director Manish Rajankar said, "We have started visiting the sites for assessing the plants and indigenous species. Once the survey is over, we will move to the next step of strategizing steps for rejuvenation."Sarus cranes are found in abundance in Bhandara, Gondia and Gadchiroli. Operation Sindoor PM Modi meets NSA, chiefs of armed forces amid spike in tensions with Pak India's air defence systems shoot down Pak drones in J&K, Punjab & Rajasthan Several airports in India to be closed till May 15 - check list "Sarus are not migratory birds like Flamingos, but they shift bases for food. Sarus cranes have been around for thousands of years and are mentioned in the first shloka of Ramayana," Rajankar said. He explained that sarus cranes stick with the same mate for their entire life, something which is mentioned in the epic."These sarus have always lived near human habitat, near riverbanks. You won't find sarus in deep forests," said sarus cranes find a mate is an interesting story. "Once a year, they congregate in large numbers at different places, Gondia is one such location. Here, the mates are chosen and the newly hitched couple flies back with the parents to their 'joint family' habitat. After a few weeks, the new couple then moves on to find their own territory," Rajankar birds establish their own territories and survive on a steady diet of fish, insects, a specific type of grass and freshly sown seedlings farmland ."The nest they build is always on the ground and is spread over a circumference of 10 feet. Both parents take turns in hatching the eggs and take care of it till the hatchling is ready to fly off on its own," Rajankar said.
