OMG! Celeb Confessions:

Celeb Confession: Andy sent a selfie to the dean of education!

 

 

OMG petterEven SFU celebs have totally cringe-worthy moments, just like us! “I take a lot of selfies,” SFU prez Andy Petter spills to Teen Peak. But it doesn’t always go according to plan. “One time, I accidentally sent a pic of myself to Thomas Homer-Dixon, the dean of education,” he cringes. “I meant to send it to my bae, but I clicked the wrong Snapchat account, and by then it was too late. Thomas was giving me weird looks for weeks afterwards!” Looks like Andy needs to up his Snap game, before he accidentally sends a selfie to the whole school!

I bailed in front of my entire lecture hall!

I’m an adjunct prof at SFU and I always get nervous teaching big rooms of students. One day I was teaching BISC 100 in front of a packed lecture hall when I started to lose my balance. I remembered that I had bought new shoes recently, and that I had forgotten to check if the laces were tied. It turns out they were totally twisted in a knot, and I tripped and fell in front of a lecture hall of over 300 students! Everyone started laughing and I turned beet red. One of my TAs even had to help me up! I’m wearing velcro shoes from now on.

I sneezed all over my TA!

The other morning, I was standing in the line at Renaissance Cafe. I’ve had a terrible cold for a while, and I felt a sneeze coming on. I turned to sneeze away from the guy in front of me, but I didn’t see the person standing at my side, and I sneezed violently all over her! There was snot everywhere. But it gets worse: I looked up and realized in horror that I’d blown snot all over my history TA. She just glared at me, said “nice,” and walked away. I felt soooo gross! I hope she doesn’t fail me.

I farted on Bennett Library silent study floor!

OMG, you won’t believe this. Last week I was studying on the silent floor of the Bennett Library, where nobody makes a sound. I was sitting at one of the new communal study-tables working on an assignment, when I let out the biggest, most bowel-trembling fart ever. Everyone turned their heads to stare at me — some even plugged their noses. This hot guy I’ve been crushing on shifted uncomfortably in the seat next to me, and I almost died. I haven’t returned to the silent floor to study since!

New immunotherapy treatment provides hope for aggressive cancer

By: Lucaiah Smith-Miodownik, News Writer Surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy are often recognized as the three most common forms of cancer treatment. Sometimes, the latter two approaches become no longer effective when cancers become drug resistant, allowing the cells to further spread. At the University of Calgary, however, promising developments in immunotherapy intervention seek to provide alternative treatment when common therapies are not viable.  Cells continually divide to replenish dying cells, but certain gene mutations can create cancer cells, which divide and spread in an uncontrolled manner. The human body naturally defends itself from cancerous cells, though sometimes they can “hide from the immune system and avoid being destroyed,” according to the Canadian Cancer Society. Immunotherapy seeks to help strengthen the ability to recognize and fight...
