Cameron County Released on Friday, March 4th, that they will have Starlink internet services in select areas! Starlink is a satellite network service that is being developed by the private spaceflight company that we all know in Brownsville as SpaceX. They possess some of the newest, most advanced Broadband Internet Systems out there. I mean, It’s kinda rocket science, right?

enables Starlink to deliver services like online gaming that are usually not possible on other satellite broadband systems. Why should we care about Starlink? Well, as we all are aware Russia has been attacking Ukraine, and the war is real. In that Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX sought to help the Ukrainians & tweeted two weeks ago that Starlink satellite internet service was “active in Ukraine” with “more terminals en route,” Starlink has been able to aid Ukraine in staying
in communication as Russia continues to attack and hack parts of the Ukrainian Government’s communications. The technological advancements happening with satellite internet are not only great for us, but have been aiding those in desperate need as well! So, where will the free “weefee” be, and how is this beneficial for our area? Cameron County announced on March 4th, that the integration of Starlink internet services will be available at Pedro
exam, but for a competition. “I feel pretty confident,” Salinas said before the UTRGV School of Medicine’s Brain Bee competition, which challenges high school students and tests their knowledge of neurology. “I’ve always liked science, so I have some prior knowledge about
psychology and brain conditions – but so much is still a mystery,” Salinas said. Dr. Michael Dobbs, professor and chair of the Department of Neurology at the UTRGV School of Medicine, before the competition began told the 25 high school students – from La Joya, Edinburg and
Brownsville – that there is still so much left to discover about brain health and commended them for their interest in the field. “The 1990s was the decade of the brain, and a lot has been discovered since I left medical school,” said Dobbs, whose research as a student contributed to finding dopamine receptors

LOOK INSIDE
According to SpaceX’s website, most satellite internet services today come from single geostationary satellites that orbit the planet at about 35,000km, while Starlink is a constellation of multiple satellites orbiting much closer to Earth, at about 550km, and cover the entire globe. Because Starlink satellites are in a low orbit, the round-trip data time between the user and the satellite – also known as latency – is much lower than with satellites in geostationary orbit. This
“Pete” Benavides County Park, the Bob Clark Social Service Center, and the Public Works Warehouse in Cameron County. They plan to have Starlink up and going. The Cameron County Commissioner of Precinct 1, Sofia C. Benavides says, “I have been trying to get service to our facilities for 16 years and to have SpaceX choose my area for the first installation is absolutely wonderful.” She continues by expressing her gratitude, “I am very grateful to SpaceX and look forward to having accessibility in the near future for all those in Precinct 1 that are eager to have connectivity.” Los Fresnos News has reached out to find out more details on where else we might be seeing internet service by Starlink pop-up in the near future. Cameron County Judge, Eddie Trevino, Jr. says “Currently, the logistics for public use and its respective access are being discussed and finalized. I want to thank the leading space industry, SpaceX for their continued support of the communities in Cameron County,“

She went home with a first-place trophy, and the renewed motivation to follow through on her medical school aspirations. Second place went to Pablo Berrones from Lopez Early College High School in Brownsville. Eida Aguirre, a junior from Economedes High School in Edinburg, took third place. “I was inspired by the speakers,” Salinas said. Those speakers included professors and medical students from the UTRGV School of Medicine and one

of its student organizations, the Student Interest Group in Neurology, or SIGN which led the efforts to organize the second-annual Brain Bee competition. The School of Medicine and SIGN collaborated with UTRGV GEAR UP to give the students the chance to explore this area of the healthcare field. “I saw that they’re giving back to the world in a way that I want to,” Salinas said. “My parents gave me the world, and I want to make them proud by giving as much as I have received.” Salinas’ next step is to prepare for the USA National Brain Bee, which
will be held virtually. Michael F. Minano, a second-year student at the UTRGV School of Medicine and president of UTRGV’s SIGN, discovered his interest in neurology during his master’s studies at the University of HoustonClearlake. He said seeing the high school students learn about neurology takes him back to when he was in their shoes. “I wish I had this opportunity when I was younger,” he said. “Now I know that I want to learn as much about this as I can, so it would have been really cool to be exposed early on.”

Ask Our Dentists by DR. ADAM LALONDE
Q: I have a 1yr old baby. My friend has a baby, same age, and has already taken the baby to see the dentist. Isn’t this too early? At what age should we begin seeing the dentist?
“Your Community Newspaper” 705 W. Highway 100, Suite B-2 Los Fresnos, TX
ANSWERED by DR.ADAM LALONDE: I recommend that you begin cleaning your baby’s teeth with a soft cloth or the smallest baby’s toothbrush as soon as they come out. Clean teeth at least once a day; it’s best to clean them before bedtime. It’s also good introducing the concept of cleaning teeth to your children as early as possible so that they are comfortable with it. Dr. Adam Lalonde
At about age 2, you should start putting fluoride toothpaste on your child’s toothbrush. Use only a pea-size drop of toothpaste and not more. Buy only those toothpastes designated for babies – do not use adult toothpaste. Baby toothpastes have a lesser amount of fluoride and easier for baby to digest, if swallowed. Since babies’ teeth come in at different ages, there’s no magic age number to bring them to their first dental visit. It is best to see the dentist as soon as you comfortably can so that baby can begin getting familiar with dental visits. Age 2-4 yrs is generally a good age range for baby’s first dental visit.

Los Fresnos Baseball opened up 32-6A play against San Benito after competing in the 18th annual Mira’s Sports Classic in Corpus Christi. After a 2-3 performance at the classic, The Falcons were looking to kick off their road to the postseason with a big win over a tough Greyhound Squad. Leading things off for the Falcons was two runs coming in the top of the first inning and rendered San Benito scoreless through three innings of play as Senior Matthew Padilla had a dominant presence on the mound with 18 strikeouts throughout the ballgame.
Dominant playmaking for the Falcons defensively also limited San Benito to only just one run on two hits. Key Falcons Hector Muniz, Luis Lucio and Diego Cantu all contributed to lead the Falcons to a 4-1 victory over San Benito. Los Fresnos scored four runs of four hits and one error in their 2022 32-6A opener. So what lies ahead for the Falcons in 32-6A?

Child Life Month Highlights Importance of Making Children Comfortable During Hospital Stay HARLINGEN – Hospitalization can be a stressful event for anyone, but for children, a hospital stay can be especially difficult due to their age, level of understanding, degree of illness, and strength of support system. There are, however, ways parents and healthcare providers can team up to make a child’s hospital stay easier to cope with, said Claudia Lopez, MSN, RN, and director of pediatric & pediatric intensive care unit services at Valley Baptist Medical CenterHarlingen. Because children process information from the world around them differently than their adult counterparts, the way they manage the stress of hospitalization is also different, Lopez said.
“When a child experiences illness or injury it affects the normal progression of their development. For example, imagine a toddler who is gaining independence through new skills like walking and talking,” she said. “When they come to the hospital, not only are they in an unfamiliar environment, but they also have to be attached to an IV pole, may have to stay in bed, and most of their opportunities for making choices are taken away.” Lopez said it is in coping with those changes in routine where play can serve a vital role in helping children heal and recover. Because March serves as Child Life Month, there is no better time than the present to stress the importance of
maintaining a sense of normalcy during a child’s hospital stay. “Play is adaptive. Play fills the gaps created by stress and illness. Play minimizes the limitations and enhances the natural abilities to cope and find pleasure in their surroundings,” she said. That play can take a variety of forms, Lopez said. From activities in bed to specialized rooms for younger and older pediatric patients, Valley Baptist Medical CenterHarlingen and Valley Baptist-Brownsville offer a number of opportunities for young patients to normalize their time in the hospital. Dr. Asim Zamir, Chief of Pediatrics at Valley Baptist Medical Center-Brownsville, said that for children, the experiences surrounding
hospitalization can be far more difficult to cope with because children often lack the life experience of their adult counterparts. “For pediatric patients, a trip to the hospital can be especially traumatic. In addition to the medical reason for their visit, which is likely stressful on its own, they are introduced to an environment full of unusual sights and sounds,” he said. “Depending on their age, children may have unpleasant memories of previous hospital visits, or they may have seen things on television or in movies that don’t always portray hospitals as bright and cheerful spaces.” Zamir said that the road to recovery for pediatric patients starts with pediatric nurses

across the country to get the grant, aimed at improving the wellbeing of the healthcare workforce. “From research that we do, we have seen that patients get higherquality and safer care when their physicians are doing well,” she said. According to a 2018 report on physician mental health and suicide, 66 percent of male physicians and 58 percent of females who reported burnout, depression, or both had never received professional help, were not currently seeking professional help, and did not plan to seek professional help. Given that data, the UTRGV School of Medicine decided aggressive steps are needed to address the rampant problem of burnout among healthcare practitioners. Jamal, along with Dr. Deepu George – coprincipal investigator on the grant, UTRGV associate professor of Family Medicine, and a behavioral health
consultant – will develop and implement training activities to reduce and address burnout, suicide, mental health conditions and substance use disorders among healthcare workers. “The intended goal is to boost the resiliency of healthcare students, residents, professionals and trainees in rural and underserved communities like the Rio Grande Valley,” Jamal said.
Mobile Application (WMA) prototype, and the dissemination of a Wellbeing Champion Toolkit (WCT) to each UTRGV Graduate Medical Education (GME) program. System Redesign – The School of Medicine will develop a Master Trainer Faculty Development (MTFD) track to graduate 20 GME faculty members with competency to internally deliver resiliency curricula to residents and fellows. “Our intended goal is that, by 2024, the Fortify Resilience initiative will impact more than 150 UTRGV residents and fellows, along with training 20 faculty members,” Jamal said. Dr. Michael B. Hocker. dean of the UTRGV School of Medicine and senior vice president for UT Health RGV, said these projects are crucial to the future of medicine. “We know here at UTRGV just how important being proactive with one’s mental health is,”
and physicians who are experienced in helping their patients feel at ease during an incredibly stressful time in their lives. “We work incredibly hard to help our patients feel relaxed,” he said. “We work to take their minds off their concerns by asking questions about their interests. We engage in conversations about school, their favorite television shows, their pets, and their friends. We encourage them to share stories.” While specialized rooms, activities, and experienced healthcare providers are important to a child’s recovery, Lopez said that family plays a vital role on the path to wellness. “Family members are the consistent in kids’ lives, so they are the primary comfort and
support. It’s crucial that family members are well-informed and feel empowered to do what they know is best for their child. A child may worry that they will have to stay in the hospital alone, or that they won’t be shielded from pain or discomfort. This can cause some tension, and caregivers are often afraid to give kids the truth when it’s not “happy” or “positive”, but communicating honestly and giving children reasonable expectations builds trust and allows them to more effectively rely on you,” she said.

UTRGV School of Medicine Awarded Grant to Address Mental Health in Physicians RIO GRANDE VALLEY, TEXAS – MARCH 7, 2022 – You go to the doctor to get your check-up, but have you ever thought, “Who checks up on my doctor?” Now, funded by a $1.75 million grant, the UTRGV School of Medicine is looking to address just that – the mental health of physicians and ways to support and improve it. As part of the Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA)‘s Fortify Resilience Initiative grant, the School of Medicine plans to implement programs designed to “check up” on physicians to combat the mental health issues seen in the medical field. Dr. Nausheen Jamal – associate dean of Graduate Medical Education, Designated Institutional Official, and professor and chair of the UTRGV School of Medicine’s department of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery – was one of 34 grantees
KEY DRIVERS The team plans to address mental health disparities via three key drivers: Access Strategies – The School of Medicine will provide clinical coaching services; evidence-based wellness curricula through live online-learning sessions; and yearly wellness checks for all residents and fellows. Empowerment Initiatives – The School of Medicine will provide self-management at the individual and program level, powered by the launch of the Wellness

Hocker said. “This is a perfect example of how we are thinking to the future to ensure that our patients, as well as those who serve them, are healthy.” Jamal and her team will begin implementing the program by summer
2022. “If our residents are healthy and resilient, then our patients and our Valley community will be safer and get higher-quality healthcare. That’s our goal.”

Written by Blair Fannin Texas A&M AgriLife Research scientists are using artificial intelligence to set a new world record for producing algae as a reliable, economic source for biofuel that can be used as an alternative fuel source for jet aircraft and other transportation needs. Joshua Yuan, Ph.D., AgriLife Research scientist, professor and chair of Synthetic Biology and Renewable Products in the Texas A&M College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Department of Plant Pathology and Microbiology, is leading the research project. The team’s findings were published in January in Nature Communications. Ongoing research is funded by the U.S. Department of Energy Fossil Energy Office. The work is also being funded by a gift from Dr. John ’90 and Sally ’92 Hood, who recently met with Yuan to discuss his biofuels research program. The gift is managed by the Texas A&M Foundation. The project team includes Bin Long, a graduate student from the Department of Plant Pathology and Microbiology; Bart Fischer, Ph.D., co-director of the Texas A&M Agricultural and Food Policy Center and Texas A&M Department of Agricultural Economics; Henry Bryant, Ph.D., Department of Agricultural Economics; and Yining Zeng, Ph.D., staff scientist with the U.S. Department of Energy National Renewable Energy Laboratory. Solving the algae limitations as a biofuel
“The commercialization of algal biofuel has been hindered by the relatively low yield and high harvesting cost,” Yuan said. “The limited light penetration and poor cultivation dynamics both contributed to the low yield.” Overcoming these challenges could enable viable algal biofuels to reduce carbon emissions, mitigate climate change, alleviate petroleum dependency and transform the bioeconomy, Yuan said. Yuan has previously been successful at finding methods to convert corn stubble, grasses and mesquite into biodegradable, lightweight materials and bioplastics. His latest project utilizes a patented artificial intelligence advanced learning model to predict algae light penetration, growth and optimal density. The prediction model allows for continual harvest of synthetic algae using hydroponics to maintain the rapid growth at the optimal density to allow best light availability. The method Yuan and team have successfully achieved in an outdoor experiment is 43.3 grams per square meter per day of biomass productivity, which would be a world record. The latest DOE target range is 25 grams per square meter per day. “Algae can be used as an alternative energy source for many industries, including biofuel and as jet fuel,” Yuan said. “Algae is a good alternative fuel source for this industry. It’s an alternate feedstock for bioethanol refinery without the need for pretreatment. It’s lower cost than coal or natural gas. It also provides for a more efficient way of carbon capture and utilization.” Yuan said algae can also be used as a source for animal feed. AgriLife Research has previously investigated algae as a source of livestock protein. Algae as a renewable energy Algae biofuel is regarded as one of the ultimate solutions for renewable energy, but its commercialization is hindered by growth limitations caused by mutual shading and high harvest costs. “We overcome these
challenges by advancing machine learning to inform the design of a semicontinuous algal cultivation (SAC) to sustain optimal cell growth and minimize mutual shading,” he said. Yuan said he is using an aggregation-based sedimentation strategy designed to achieve lowcost biomass harvesting and economical SAC. “The aggregation-based sedimentation is achieved by engineering a fastgrowing blue-green algae strain, Synechococcus elongatus UTEX2973, to produce limonene, which increases cyanobacterial cell surface hydrophobicity and enables efficient cell aggregation and sedimentation,” he said. Making algae economical energy Scaling-up the SAC with an outdoor pond system achieves a biomass yield of 43.3 grams per square meter per day, bringing the minimum biomass selling price down to approximately $281 per ton, according to the journal article. In comparison, the standard low-cost feedstock for biomass in ethanol is corn, which is currently approximately $6 per bushel or $260 per ton. However, Yuan’s process does not call for costly pre-treatment before fermentation. Corn must be ground and the mash must be cooked before fermentation. “Algae as a renewable fuel source was a hot topic a decade ago,” Fischer said. “As a result, there’s a lot of skepticism. I was even skeptical. However, the work that Joshua is doing is incredibly innovative. We were excited to partner on this project. At the productivity levels they obtain – and given the lowcost harvest that the strain allows – it shows a lot of promise.” Yuan said despite significant potential and extensive efforts, the commercialization of algal biofuel has been hindered by limited sunlight penetration, poor cultivation dynamics, relatively low yield, and the absence of cost-effective industrial harvest methods. “This technology is proven to be affordable and help propel algae as a true alternative form of energy,” he said.
