You might be a medical science person if every “fun fact” you share somehow turns into a five-minute explanation of how the body works. 🤓

Earwax gets a bad PR campaign, but it’s actually doing the most: trapping dust, protecting your ear canal and minding its business. Respect the wax. 👂

We have to know ... are you a cotton swab fanatic, or are you letting the earwax do what it does best?

Ever wondered why our bodies produce earwax? In this video, we dive...

What does a geriatrician actually do all day?

Their work may include patient visits, medication reviews, conversations with family members and care teams and some serious detective work to help older adults remain healthy and independent. 🩺

Because treating an older patient often means looking at the full picture, not just one diagnosis.

What is geriatric care? Learn how clinicians manage aging, chronic conditions and complex health needs in older adults.

Your nervous system is basically the body’s group chat. Messages are flying everywhere, things are getting misread and somehow everything still depends on good communication.

Sunday reset, online grad school edition: Refill the water bottle, check the week’s deadlines and create at least one study block nobody is allowed to interrupt. ☕

What’s one thing that makes your school week easier?

Grades and degrees are available in ONE.UF this evening. Tiny refresh button, big feelings. 🎓

On a scale from “I’m completely calm” to “I’ve refreshed 14 times,” how are we doing?

Online classes get a lot easier when you stop expecting your future self to magically remember everything.

Before you close your laptop, leave yourself a quick note: where you stopped, what still needs to be done and what your first step should be when you come back.

It takes about 30 seconds and saves you from spending the first 20 minutes of your next study session trying to remember what was happening. 💻

Summer classes end today. Please close the laptop, hydrate and resist the urge to “just check one more thing.” You made it. 🐊

What’s the first thing you’re doing with your hard-earned freedom?
