Honoring a Pioneer: Pierre Fauchard
“Sugar is detrimental to both gums and teeth. We should limit it in our daily foods.” It seems like common sense now, but in 1728, it was a revolutionary statement. The man credited with first recognizing that sugar was anything but sweet on teeth was Pierre Fauchard, known as “the father of modern dentistry.” Born...
Why White?
Did you know that lab coats were originally beige? Prior to the adoption of lab coats in the medical profession, beige lab coats were generally worn by scientists.

Medelita Embroidery: Pondering Punctuation
I have a bad habit of using exclamation marks when I write. Not that I’m a punctuation cheerleader who seems ‘about to explode with how awesome what I am saying is!!!!!’, but more that I tend to use exclamation points to try and convey something beyond monotony. However, I’m still wrong – redefining the English...
The Embroidery Commitment
Change. Some of us love it and some of us fear it, but change is an inevitable part of life. I happen to like change, which is probably why I’ve lived in two different countries and four different states in my 29 years of life. In fact I’ve become so comfortable with change that I’ve...
