New Comments on Serendip

Earlier this year I developed tics after being on Prozac for over 6 months, the first week was just a tic of twitching my head to the side, then over the next week and a half it had developed into severe attacks, can’t go into detail because I now deal with post traumatic stress, it lasted for 5 months and ended in June but the memories still affect me daily. So sorry this is happening to you, make sure sure to write down when and what’s happening and talk with your doctor!!!

Please do use these resources in your teaching! Our use policy is described in the left-hand column.
Good luck,

Is there an updated email to receive a key for Mitosis and the Cell Cycle - How a Single Cell Develops into the Trillions of Cells in a Human Body? I tried to send to the email listed on page 6 and it bounced back.

Thanks!

I have streamlined and clarified the Student Handout. I have reorganized the Teacher Notes and added some relevant information.

I took antibiotics in same situation as you all of same symptoms can't sleep . Sleepless nights awful.

The September 2021 revision improved the wording of some questions and improved some of the figures in the Student Handout and clarified some points in the Teacher Preparation Notes.

Hi, did you send the email from your school email address? Dr. Waldron does not send the key to gmail addresses where we can't verify that it's not an enterprising student asking. Thanks!

There is a right place and time to learn.
Problem is, whites feel entitled that whatever the context is they have the right to get what they want, when they want.
With the white girl example this is exactly what happened.

For example:
I am Greek, if there was a scenario where there is a Greek song playing to the club, i most definelty don't have time to show you the steps. I'd rather grab this opportunity to celebrate with my peers.
Go to youtube, take up classes, go to Greece, will be much appreciated. But I don't have time for you.

I agree, white people can't dance (communicate). Whites are so self-entitled they only listen to themselves. Either it is spoken, dance, written form. Doesn't matter. Especially white men. They can't take a NO, they don't care about cues, they just force their wants and opinions as it is the only thing that matters.

The Student Handout and Teacher Notes have been substantially revised to reflect new research findings.

Hey there,

I saw your comment regarding you got the clinical prion test through a prion lab. I imagine you had to go through some
hoops to get it.

What was the way you go in contact with the specialist and them taking you seriously?

Hi Deejay2577, I have been observing women's body shapes for years now and over a period of about 25 years ago I started seeing Euro-American females presenting with physiques that were once thought to exclusively belong to Afro descended and Latino women (i.e. wide hips, large thighs and curvaceous rear ends) and while some of this may be attributed to having some African DNA somewhere within their familial lineage I believe that this is a part of the shared genetic history of the human species. I believe that we all share a common origin which may or may not have begun on the landmass that is now called Africa (specifically the Eastern part) and that the storage of fat tissue in areas of the body like the hips, thighs and buttocks was an adaptation, when food was bountiful, we gorged ourselves in preparation for the times of scarcity so that the females could sustain milk production in order to feed babies. In some cultures, these features were highly prized and many carvings and statues were made in honor of the 'Goddess', a female figure with a very voluptuous and figure. I have witnessed the emergence of plus sized models like Ashley Graham and Erica Lauren who are both 'white women' who are absolutely stunning
so there is definitely a change in attitudes towards larger women, however there is an issue with women who have crossed the line into the realm of morbid obesity and think that they should not be 'fat shamed', in my opinion they need to see the danger of being grossly overweight and so something to save themselves before heart disease or diabetes claims their lives.

Hello Quinn:.
First, I am so sorry for what you are going through. I will post again later...we are on a trip now and time is limited As you may have read a few years ago I had a similar problem. I had never know anyone go a full week with 0 sleep until it happened to me. I am now sleeping 7-9 hours a night and my health is much better. It is very difficult to find physicians that understand or sadly even try to understand Insomnia. Literally all they address is sleep apnea. I was given a sleep study that was grossly in accurate. It was like they were not sure what to do so they forced the diagnosis. Using a cpap for Insomnia is absolutely ridiculous! It only works when you sleep. Unfortunately your going to have to be your own advocate. Keep going to different doctors until you find one that listens. Meditation saved my life when I was having sleep problems. It helped me survive while I searched for help. Look into it. Also ask to have your Testosterone tested. But make sure they check " Free Testosterone " too. Many doctors skip this. Mine was crazy low but I had so symptoms. Yours may be fine but when mine was low it caused neurological problems memory, mood and sleep. But hang in there and keep bugging your doctors. If it gets too bad admit yourself. When I did and they watched me stay wide awake for 2 nights they realized I wasn't " Miss precieving " my sleep. I use Hydroxyzine . It's doesn't knock me out but it puts me in a place where with focus and meditation I sleep very well.. Good luck my friend!!! If there is anything you I can do to help leave a message here . I get it right away. You are not alone!

Hi, so for starters I don’t know what is happening to me, roughly two months ago I started having major exhaustion with dizziness, headaches, faint feeling, walking speech and memory problems gradually getting worse over the last month. And sleeping has been incredibly difficult to where I can’t fall asleep on my own and had slept a total of like 10 hours in the course of a week two weeks again which is when this really started getting bad but even when I slept it didn’t feel like I was sleeping like time would pass by when I looked at the clock but I couldn’t tell if I was awake or sleeping the whole time. And it is the same thing now 2 weeks later they’d prescribed me clonasapam and 50 mg trazadone which are helping me sleep for a few hours through the night but hits the same thing to where I can’t tell if I actually slept or not. I am having a lot of memory and confusion problems and am exhausted to the point where I feel like I’m losing my mind like my anxiety and paranoia are through the roof and worse each day even when I thought I’d finally gotten some rest. Could I be dealing with SFI? Or some other prion condition? I need some form of help because all my doctor listened to was that I’m on the verge of losing my shit and they said they’d refer me to a sleep study but sent a referral to phsyciatrics instead. And then the my docto said he’d never even heard of a sleep study.
