from The Rundown on WNYU 89.1 FM · host WNYU

María Josefina Saldaña-Portillo, a professor with the Department of Social and Cultural Analysis and the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies, talks about the Supreme Court's leaked draft to overturn Roe V Wade. Fans of New York should keep their eyes peeled for Guastavino tiles, special ceramic tiles that are both beautiful and incredibly strong. They can be found in more than 250 historic sites throughout the city, including Grand Central and Ellis Island. Named for the architect who patented them, the story of the Guastavino tiles is a story of immigrants, a story of art, and a story of New York's hidden beauty. Anna Miller and Liza Schmidt have interviewed the foremost expert on Guastavino tiles, shadowed a "Secrets of Grand Central Terminal" tour, and interviewed passersby to create a five minute audio story on these fascinating tiles. Philip Rosenbaum's multimedia class covers the controversy over federal transportation mask mandates. There's an unlikely target in cyber attacks - healthcare. Currently, the US has the largest and most expensive healthcare systems, yet is one of the most vulnerable to attacks. Just last month, both Congress and the Food and Drug Administration put out new proposals to protect weak points in the system. Rundown Reporter Izzy McMahon talked to health security experts to get an overview of the problem and see where we are headed with the future of healthcare and cybersecurity.
