A group of organizations of the Puerto Rico business ecosystem joined forces to launch the campaign "Raise your business PR ", aimed at supporting small and medium enterprises (SMEs) of all sectors to take the necessary actions after the impact of Hurricane Maria.

The initiative includes the collection of data on the needs of businesses around the island, guidance on the resources available to support them and how to access them, as well as efforts to identify other ways to help lift the Business sector.

The National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities, part of the National Institutes of Health, has awarded $19 million for the next five years to the University of Puerto Rico Medical Sci-ences Campus to continue facilitating the development of competitive research being conducted by the Center for Collaborative Research in Minority Health and Health Disparities.

It is very likely that next week most Puerto Ricans will gain access to the internet from their cell phones once the company Alphabet, through its subsidiary X, completes tests carried out by positioning the Project Loon balloons over Puerto Rico.

Although it is located in one of the highest areas of Arecibo, the hurricane winds of Maria did not cause havoc in the Arecibo Observatory, and as soon as this Friday, scientific activities should be normalized there.

"We had some minor damage ... We were very lucky," said the director of the Observatory's Center for Geospatial Studies, Tony Van Eyken.

 He explained that the telescope platform was not damaged, only an antenna that can be repaired was affected.
