    On a typical bottle of alcohol you’ll see the brand on the front, a small-font ingredients list, and maybe a warning against overconsumption of alcohol. But there is one label that is missing. Alcohol is actually the largest preventable risk factor for cancer after smoking and obesity, a fact that has not been widely discussed. Today On the Scidelines, we invite Dr. Tim Stockwood to discuss how alcohol increases cancer risk and some potential policies that can save lives.

So why is it that when you hear the word “bee”, you probably think of the classic, black-and-yellow honey bee? This week, we’re joined by Entomologist Syndey Worthy to discuss the incredibly diverse world of native bees, and why honey bees aren’t always the do-gooders we think they are.

    (De)Criminal Justice

    Let's face it, there are certain phrases that evoke nothing but panic. For most people, "let's legalize drugs" is probably one of them, and yet, that's exactly what the Government of British Columbia is doing to help combat the opioid crisis.
