Stretching is key to the body’s performance, safety, and recovery for professional and casual athletes alike. The act of stretching before and after exercise helps the body to properly prepare and recuperate, helping to prevent strains and other injuries. Like all areas of athletics, there are STEM concepts at play in stretching. The stretches that keep athletes injury-free and able to perform to the best of their abilities can be easily tied to key STEM principles.

Office hours for Patrick Cafferty’s biology classes are anything but traditional. Sometimes, students will go on runs with Cafferty, who is a teaching professor at Emory University. Other times, they’ll meet for coloring sessions or use chalk to draw anatomical diagrams on the sidewalk outside the medical school on campus. This year, the office hours became a time for students to play games together.
