Inclusive play: University of Toronto researcher studies the playground experiences of children with disabilities
How do Canadian children with disabilities and their families experience playgrounds? What about adjacent areas such as parking lots and pathways? How can educators and rehabilitation specialists use playground spaces? These are some of the topics explored by Kelly Arbour-Nicitopoulos , an associate professor studying disability and physical activity in the University of Toronto's Faculty of Kinesiology and Physical Education (KPE).

High school athletes in contact sports more likely to misuse prescription stimulants throughout their 20s
Study: The initiation and developmental course of prescription drug misuse among high school athletes during the transition through young adulthood High school seniors who play contact sports are roughly 50% more likely to misuse prescription stimulants in the next decade after graduation, compared to those who do not participate in these types of sports, a new University of Michigan study found.

Biological approaches to combat Legionella
Throughout Switzerland, infections with bacteria of the genus Legionella are increasing significantly. Researchers at Eawag have now outlined how the growth of these microbial inhabitants of drinking water systems could be curbed with the help of other organisms. Legionella are bacteria that live in water and can be found in many water pipes, shower heads, ventilation systems, boilers and cooling towers.

B.C. ocean’s worth of almost $5 billion to GDP likely an underestimate
British Columbia's ocean contributed almost $5 billion to provincial gross domestic product in 2015, a sum that is likely an underestimate, a new UBC study has found. The ' back of the envelope' estimate could be used by non-economists to work out a baseline of what oceans contribute to the economy, as part of achieving the United Nations' goal of sustainable oceans by 2030.
