BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) — There’s a new memorial on the city campus of Suny Erie.

The memorial, located inside the atrium of the former post office building, pays tribute to longtime former Erie County legislator Joan Bozer.

Bozer was instrumental in saving the historic building from demolition. On Thursday, the atrium was dedicated to her during a ceremony attended by 250 people.

“If it wasn’t for Joan, there was a lot of conversation about having this building demolished and Joan was not only an advocate for the building, but for preserving it, in fact, for ECC allowing students to continue taking classes in the city location,” Erikson Neilans, ECC vice president of enrollment management, said.

Organizers also launched the Joan K. Bozer scholarship fund Thursday, which will provide money for future Suny Erie students.

News 4’s Jacquie Walker served as the event’s emcee.

Haun Ventures is riding the bitcoin high
Blockchain startups were red-hot when Katie Haun left Andreessen Horowitz in 2021 to launch her own crypto-focused venture firm. Despite having a massive arsenal of dry powder, Haun Ventures didn't rush to scoop up stakes in crypto and web3 on the cheap, and many observers wondered when the firm would pick up its deployment pace. While Haun Ventures says it wasn't exactly sitting on its hands (and capital) through crypto's downturn, the firm was perhaps more cautious than it initially intended.

NASA orders studies from private space companies on Mars mission support roles
Mars exploration has always been the exclusive purview of national space agencies, but NASA is trying to change that, awarding a dozen research tasks to private companies as a prelude to commercial support for future missions to the Red Planet. It's the second time in a month that the agency has shown its desire for commercial support in Mars missions, having more or less scrapped the original Mars Sample Return mission in favor of a to-be-determined alternative, likely by private space companies. A total of nine companies were selected to perform 12 "concept studies" on how they could provide Mars-related services, from payload delivery to planetary imaging to communications relays.
