How can we reduce the negative effects of social media on kids' health?

Experts say that frequent use of social media is harming teens’ health, and the Australian government recently passed a law banning it for kids under 16. Here in Canada, Quebec is debating whether to follow suit. Psychiatrist and UBC associate professor of medicine Dr. Shimi Kang says rather than an all-out ban, parents should talk with their kids and figure out a plan that’s right for them.

How concerned should I be about avian flu?

H5N1 avian flu has now spread through dairy herds in 16 U.S. states. Close to 60 human cases have been reported in the U.S. and one here in Canada with a B.C. teen. Most have been caused through contact with infected animals, though a few sources are unclear. A new study in the journal Science says the virus might be just a single mutation away from more easily spreading between people. But infectious diseases specialist, Dr. Lynora Saxinger, says that while there’s no reason to panic, we need to take precautions and get any exposure to sick animals checked out.

This is an informative podcast with a thoughtful host and nuanced discussions with guests who are often experts and/or working or living on the ground. The sister podcast to this, White Coat Black Art is also worth listening to and even go back to listen to prior episodes - it covers relevant and important human interest stories
