@emilykmay We were watching NBC earlier and they actually said “the forgotten triad” when talking about NC 😭

Played Les Mis before class today which might have been too dramatic but I think it was just dramatic enough. One student walked in while Do You Hear the People Sing was on and was like “I get it! I’m voting!” - mission accomplished 😅

[Dr. Jess Caporaso @ItssJesss]

@jas_dejesus 🤣🤣 but yes. I’ve got some emails out to various campus offices about this.

I have a student who re-started at UNCG, after leaving in 1999 and later getting her AA, who is on academic probation because of Fs she got from 96-99… WHY ARE WE PENALIZING STUDENTS FOR GRADES THEY GOT WHEN THEIR PROFESSORS WERE DOING BOOK-IT AND PLAYING WITH BEANIE BABIES?!

There have been multiple times over the last few years that our IT department decides to make major changes to our systems in the middle of the semester that disrupts pre-established course flow and it never stops being annoying.

My absolute favorite scene, it still gives me chills. She was the perfect McGonagall ♥️

[peanut buttercup @perfectcelebrty]

probably the only time you’ll see me referring to this movie series since jk’s fall… but maggie smith in these movies was just so good ☹️☹️ she gave such an amazing performance in every film, it was always so comforting to see her… she will be so missed

We are hiring!!

[Dr. Jess Caporaso @ItssJesss]

I will forever be grateful to my (male, child-free) grad advisor who figured out a creative way I could still be paid during my 6 month leave. I planned on a 2 month leave and he straight up said I should have more time. He’s amazing and I was incredibly lucky.

[Dr. Bates @BatesPhysio]

I spoke to a newly pregnant grad student today who told me her union had negotiated 15 days off. Im not her primary advisor and not full time faculty right now but I can’t believe this is still a thing. I’ve told this story before, but strap in….

5yo watching Simone Biles on the beam: I can do that! I can do that jump for sure.

If this isn’t peak positivity bias, I don’t know what is 🤣

[Dr. Jess Caporaso @ItssJesss]

I know gender differences are wildly overblown but I just spent 30 minutes (I wish I was exaggerating) dealing with my daughter’s bedtime tantrum and when my son was 2, he would turn to us after two books and say “go now” at ~7:30 every night. 🫠🫠🫠

Curious, given that the jags have never won @Starky_Leg

Sports fans are like young goslings or ducklings, who imprint on the first parental figure they see.
Watching a local team with a championship creates a psychological bond that is nearly impossible to break.
Boys who were 8-12 years old when the local team won became fans for decades

Building healthy body image is critical for mental & physical well being & it should begin early in life. Our book is the first science-based, yet reader-friendly, guide for moms to help their 3- to 10-year-old daughters build healthy body image.
