Gottesman award for scientific advancement honoree) and philanthropist and member of board of trustees at Albert Einstein College of Medicine Linda Altman (leadership award honoree). The event, held at the Rainbow Room in New York, is the longest running benefit luncheon in the city. Prior to the lunch, honorees and attendees mingled over mimosas and posed for the step-and-repeat.

'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.

UL Bohemian find extra gear against Railway Union to claim AIL title
Eilís Cahill's 82nd-minute try was worth its weight in gold as UL Bohemian dramatically outlasted Railway Union 29-24 to win back-to-back Energia All-Ireland League titles for the first time since 2018. Twelve months on from the historic first Women's Division decider to be held at the Aviva Stadium, UL Bohs prevailed again on a 29-24 scoreline despite being without Aoife Corey and Jane Clohessy, Ireland's two debutants against Scotland yesterday. Table toppers Railway Union, who had put together a terrific 19-match winning run, led this enthralling encounter on three occasions. Caoimhe McCormack converted replacement Katie O'Dwyer's 63rd-minute try for a 24-17 advantage. However, Fiona Hayes' UL side displayed their mettle with replacement Gráinne Burke burrowing over before Cahill did likewise to take the Limerick club's record haul of league crowns to was final heartbreak for Railway for a third year running, and this one will cut the deepest. They trailed 12-10 at half-time, with Laoise McGonagle and Chisom Ugwueru replying to unconverted tries from Laura Sheehan and Lindsay Peat. Railway had the upperhand when a levelling penalty try, coupled with Éabha Nic Dhonnacha's yellow card, cancelled out a Chloe Pearse score. O'Dwyer's effort on the hour mark was not enough though, as a never-say-die UL came out on top. Early interceptions from Rachel Allen and Sheehan made for a lively start, with a crooked lineout throw robbing Railway of prime position. They hit back immediately by winning a scrum against the head. Some robust defending from UL Bohs, combined with Kate Flannery's right boot, lifted the pressure off the title holders, but only briefly. Teenage full-back McCormack's classy counter-attacking run saw her bring play back into the opposition 22. Champions! 🏆♥️💙 — UL BOHEMIAN RFC (@ulbohemianrfc) April 27, 2025 As Railway remained on the front foot, Claire Bennett and Allen's breakdown work typified UL's resistence. They could not hold out, their forwards defending stoutly before Leah Tarpey released Sheehan to open the scoring in the 18th minute. The Railway winger soon came to their rescue as Bohs threatened a quick response. She intercepted Flannery's pass after Aoibhe O'Flynn and player-of-the-match Stephanie Nunan had launched a dangerous break. However, good hands out to the right saw UL neatly convert a 26th-minute overlap. Nic Dhonnacha and Lily Brady did well to put Abby Moyles into space and the supporting McGonagle was uncatchable, giving Flannery an easier conversion to make it turned to their forwards to bludgeon back into scoring range. They fought hard to retain lineout possession, carrying infield where Peat plunged for the line, absorbing two tackles but showing her experience to get the grounding. The tit-for-tat exchanges continued with UL making it two tries each in the 36th minute. Moyles offloaded for the jet-heeled Ugwueru to brilliantly shrug off Sheehan's tackle and squeeze over in the left corner ahead of two more defenders. Bohs drew further encouragement from a Nic Dhonnacha turnover penalty and a scrum penalty, either side of the interval. TMO Mark Patton ruled out a potential try for Pearse, with influential Railway lock Aoife McDermott managing to force a knock-on. Nonetheless, with a penalty in their favour, Hayes' charges attacked smartly through their maul and there was no denying Pearse this time, the forwards driving her over to extend the lead to seven points. Just over two minutes later and inspired by a 50:22 kick from Ailsa Hughes, Railway delivered a big maul of their own. Peat had the ball at the back and appear to get it down, but she was denied her 25th try of the season as referee Jonny Erskine awarded a penalty try instead. As UL also adjusted to the temporary loss of Nic Dhonnacha for coming in at the side, Belgian Sevens international Mira Broeks continued to impress in defence for Railway. She landed some bone-crunching tackles, including an expertly-timed one on Flannery.A Tarpey-led attack ended with Méabh Keegan knocking on inside Bohs' 22, just before Nic Dhonnacha's return. Tarpey were becoming increasingly influential, and she spearheaded another attack that had the Mike South-coached Dubliners knocking on the door again. Rhiann Heery also gained a good chunk of ground out on the left, and when Railway's reinforced pack got close to the posts, Keegan stormed up close, setting up O'Dywer to squeeze over from the ruck. McCormack tucked away the conversion. Back came the Red Robins, with their own bench providing plenty of energy and impact. Full-back Moyles sliced through initially, Clara Barrett ran hard on the right, and then youngster Burke drove in low to touch down with 69 minutes on the clock. Crucially, Flannery was unable to convert from a difficult position on the right, leaving it 24-22 to Railway with 10 minutes remaining. A clever move off a lineout had the tireless Peat piercing through, putting UL on the retreat. The Sandymount-based outfit made sure they held a territorial advantage for the closing stages. A textbook lineout steal from McDermott kept Bohs pinned back until a frantic last-minute breakout, with Barrett and Ugwueru both getting a chance to stretch their legs. Last year's champions were suddenly flooding forward into Railway's 22, with replacement scrum half Muirne Wall maintaining a high tempo. Ciara O'Dwyer cleverly worked the ball wide to Ugwueru, who was caught high by Peat for a penalty. Pearse took up the baton by tapping and going from 12 metres out. Five phases later, Railway's defence was worn down enough for prop Cahill to wrestle her way over for her 18th and most important try of the campaign, topped off by Flannery's well-struck conversion.

Natalya Reacts To Claims That Women Are Being Underutilized In WWE
Photo Credit: WWE The current era of women's wrestling has come a long way from the Divas Era, where female wrestlers would barely get five minutes for a match. Former SmackDown Women's Champion Natalya spoke about the growth of women's wrestling. Advertisement While speaking on Chris Van Vliet's Insight podcast, Natalya shared her thoughts on the discussions that women are being underutilized in wrestling. 'Here's my thing, and it kind of goes back to what I was saying earlier. I was talking to my mom, I talk to my mom about everything, and I was saying sometimes it's so easy, especially nowadays. We all have a platform. If you're on Twitter, you're on Instagram, you're on TikTok, you're on social media, you have a platform. That's the cool thing about this day and age is that everybody has a voice. It is so easy. It would be so easy for me to go on social media and be like, 'I'm mad about this, and I'm mad about that, and I should have this and I should have that…' 'I would have loved to have been the first-ever Women's IC Champion. I would have loved that. For me, and this is the big thing is that there just has to be the right story. I think everybody wants everything now, we're living in a world of instant gratification where we want everything right now. So there's always going to be times where people feel like we should have this, and the Women's Division should do that, and that there should be this.' Natalya on the difficulties of booking a weekly wrestling TV show 'I do think that booking a weekly TV show, it's not easy, especially because there's lots of things that happen behind the scenes that people just don't know about. Somebody gets hurt, or somebody can't make it or this isn't where we're going for the big picture. Of course I would love to do more in WWE, but I also want there to be the right story. Especially being somebody that has been in WWE for 18 years, I would love to do more, but I also understand that timing is everything, so I have faith that the right story will come. And actually, I feel like we're right around the corner from some big announcements being made, especially with what I'm doing, I'm leaving you guys on such a cliffhanger, those stories will come to fruition.' Natalya: It's easy to critique, but at the same time I try to be patient 'So yeah, it's easy to critique, but at the same time I try to be patient, I try to empathize. And also, the one thing I do is make suggestions. Rather than be like, I should have this, I should have that. I go, 'Hey, I have an idea', 'We don't like that.' 'Hey, I got an idea.' 'We don't like that.' 'Hey, I got an idea.' Something is going to stick. So I have faith, I think that things are going to get exciting. It's just not easy, because also, right now we just have so many women, and I think that it's a good thing but it's also challenging, because you want to make sure that everybody has a special place. Advertisement 'I think that's the thing is that back a few years ago, sometimes I'd be on TV every single week, but I wasn't always doing the most meaningful things. I mean, at one point I was passing gas. I'm joking about that but I think what I do like about this new era is that we're just trying to find the right stories. I think we all want more. It's you're only human to want more. But I also think that let's just see what happens,' Natalya siad. Do you think women are underutilized?
