I swam competitively as a child (until I got my driver’s license at 15), and I am pretty sure I could break records for treading water. It’s a metaphor I use often during weeks when there’s lots to accomplish and extenuating circumstances wreak havoc on “getting shit done”. But I remind myself that sometimes you […]
I have been on fb from almost the very beginning. According to the movie, 8 years years. Below is my movie. It reminded me of some great moments and just how important my fb friends have supported me over the years AND especially in the last 2 years. Post by Michelle Eble.
Since 2003, I have served on ECU’s Institutional Review Board as a non-scientist. These boards have to have certain types of members on the committee. Physicians, nurses, scientists, community members, and at least one non-scientist. In fact for a while, I was the only non-scientist, and if I was late, they couldn’t begin until I […]

The council concluded obesity should NOT be defined as a disease because the Body Mass Index (MBI) used to measure obesity has issues “simplistic and flawed”. Arguments for classifying obesity as a disease included […]
I love a good Budweiser advertisement, and this one does not disappoint. Enjoy!
I have been working on several longer posts over the last couple of days, and tomorrow, we’ll have a snow day, so I’m hoping to get ahead. If you’ve not watched the following video, I highly recommend it. Brene Brown is amazing, and she’s written some fabulous books. I’ll be writing more about them as […]
