Rutgers Camden summer sessions will be online for Summer 2020. Join me for Evolutionary Psychology June 22 - July 16! A fascinating look at psychology from an evolutionary perspective - how our thoughts and behaviors help us continue to pass genes to the next generation.

@deedee4610 I like the idea of cubicles!

[Emily Wood @prof_ewood]

@IverCarly Unfortunately I feel like it gets harder every day to determine that because of the sheer volume of conflicting research. The best option is to consult with professionals and listen to your body.

Packaging on food is meant to entice us to buy it. And the marketing department knows how to get our attention. #RUCHealth2019

[AsapSCIENCE @AsapSCIENCE]

Buzzwords like 'all natural' on food packaging are misleading. Arsenic is 'all natural' and we HIGHLY recommend not eating it.

#RUCHealth2019 How can we change the acceptance towards breastfeeding in public, especially when women judge more than men do?

[New York Daily News @NYDailyNews]

New moms face an “overwhelming lack of support when breastfeeding or breast pumping in public, from both men and women.”

The study found 1-in-4 women found it “inappropriate, which is more than the just over 1-in-5 men who find it inappropriate."

Should we move to a society that makes it difficult to engage in unhealthy behaviors or allow people to make their own choices? How do health care costs impact your opinion?

Should vaccination be mandatory or a choice? How can both sides of the debate have open discussions that lead to real solutions? #RUCHealth2019

[Science of Us @thescienceofus]

There is no one reason people decide not to vaccinate, Eula Biss says, which suggests that "there is no quintessential anti-vaxxer" or organized anti-vaccination movement https://t.co/m7PQOs3sRn

@mare_bear96 Research suggests that the ideal power nap is 10 to 20 minutes so that it doesn't interfere with night sleep.

[Emily Wood @prof_ewood]

Many times being sleep deprived is seen as noble, but research shows that naps can be beneficial. How do naps work for you? #LUHealth2018

[Emily Wood @prof_ewood]

We discuss reasons people attend, but we should also look at reasons people do not attend services. #RUC_Religion_F18
