Brushing Before or After Breakfast?

by Lauren Tam Brushing twice a day is standard practice for almost everyone. But, I never knew that people brushed their teeth after breakfast until late into elementary school. My friend brought up the topic again.  She fiercely stands by brushing after eating.  One time, she was even “forced” to brush her teeth before eating […]

Why Do We Yawn?

Yawning often connotes being tired, but it happens much more than that. We yawn when we wake up from a night’s sleep, when we’re bored, or when we’re anxious.

The Immune System: How do we Defend Ourselves Against Disease?

From the common cold to COVID-19, our immune systems play a large role in helping us stay healthy. When an unknown substance enters our body, the immune system will respond in a specific way. We will often receive physical symptoms characteristic of that disease, and behind the scenes, our immune systems will work to eliminate […]

The Circulatory System

“You may cut now,” were the words out of my biology teacher’s mouth as one person from each group held a scalpel in their hand. We were all ready to make our first ever incision on a cow’s heart. From that moment on, I knew I had to go beyond simply what I learn in […]
