Student Entrepreneurs Launch Seaweed Protein Bars to Boost Nutrition

Two Northeastern students, James Sibley and Sebastian Sanchez, combined their biology and business skills to launch Phytabar - a unique chocolate bar that incorporates seaweed for a nutritional punch. The vegan bar packs 13 grams of fiber, 9 grams of protein, and plenty of omega-3s from wakame seaweed, aiming to make healthy snacking more appealing while promoting sustainable aquaculture. Since its May launch, they've already sold over a thousand bars and are looking to expand their product line.

PRIVACY

A recent Bugcrowd report reveals something eye-opening in cybersecurity. It suggests that a third of security leaders think many organizations might be willing to trade customer privacy for cost savings. The report also highlights concerns about AI outpacing security teams and the evolving role of CISOs, who are facing increasing pressures and responsibilities in today's complex digital landscape.
