How drug decriminalization in B.C. could help save lives
Q&As Brett Goldhawk Beginning in January 2023, the B.C. government will remove criminal penalties for possessing small amounts of illicit drugs including heroin, cocaine and methamphetamine. Dr. Eugenia Oviedo-Joekes ( she/her ), an addictions expert at UBC's School of Population and Public Health, answers some key questions about the decriminalization of illegal drugs - and how it could help save lives in B.C. More than 2,200 British Columbians died due to illicit drug use in 2021.

The unsuspected virtues of hot pepper
Hot pepper is hot. But it's also packed with potential therapeutic qualities. Capsaicin is the molecule that has it all! UdeM experts explain. It adds punch, heat, personality. It injects flavour, colour, aroma. It goes by many names-habanero, cayenne, jalapeño, poblano, bird's eye-but hot pepper by any name always gets a reaction.

App detecting jaundice in babies a success in first major clinical trial
A smartphone app that identifies severe jaundice in newborn babies by scanning their eyes could be a life-saver in areas that lack access to expensive screening devices, suggests a study co-authored by researchers at UCL (University College London) and the University of Ghana. The app, called neoSCB, was developed by clinicians and engineers at UCL and was used to screen for jaundice in over 300 newborn babies in Ghana, following an initial pilot study on 37 newborns at University College London Hospital (UCLH) in 2020.
