Send us a textSecondary music classrooms are increasingly challenged by student disengagement—especially when traditional models fail to resonate with today's learners. In this compelling episode, professional bassist and music educator Richard Frank introduces his Unison-Based Content (UBC) approach, a student-centered framework designed to revitalize music programs and re-engage learners of all skill levels.UBC shifts away from the conventional jazz band structure, offering a more inclusive model that welcomes diverse instrumentation—including non-traditional instruments—and varying skill levels from the start. By blending formal (notation and theory) and informal (playing by ear) learning traditions, Frank creates a “blended space” where all students feel validated and empowered.Educators will gain practical strategies for:Engaging mixed-skill ensembles with adaptable arrangementsIncorporating tab notation and alternative instrumentsEncouraging improvisation through simultaneous group playingPromoting student agency through choice and music analysisSupporting SEL through confidence-building collaborationConnecting classroom music to real-world performance opportunitiesIdeal for secondary educators seeking to refresh their approach or supplement existing programs, this method bridges the gap between traditional music education and contemporary student needs.Explore ready-to-use resources at PlayTheGroove.com and discover how UBC can transform your classroom into a space where all students groove—and grow.

Talking points: mental health, masculinity, cultureWhen Movember reaches out, you answer the call. I'm grateful to have interviewed Professor John Oliffe on a recent report co-authored by him—and spearheaded by the Movember Institute for Men's Health. Some of the stats they've released left me a little surprised; like 2 in 5 men in Canada die prematurely, and from largely preventable casues. Listen to this one, team.(00:00:00) - Intro, and the premature mortality of men(00:10:29) - On co-constructed masculinity, and how modern complexity affects how we perceive manhood(00:16:26) - On “protest masculinity”, and what's causing men to die early?(00:22:34) - Depression, suicide, and getting upstream of the risk factors(00:32:120) - Why hiding what you're going through so common, and why some men dismiss the healthcare system(00:40:06) - What Dr. Oliffe would say to the man reluctant to see a therapist(00:44:49) - The changes and diversity of modern masculinityDr. John Oliffe is a Professor and Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Men's Health Promotion at the School of Nursing, University of British Columbia. Founder and lead investigator of UBC's Men's Health Research program, his work focuses on masculinities as it influences men's health behaviours and illness management, and its impact on partners, families, and overall life quality. Findings drawn from his research offer guidance to clinicians and researchers to advance men's health promotion in the areas of psychosocial prostate cancer care, smoking cessation and male suicide prevention.For those of you in Vancouver, check out the formal launch of John and Movember's work here: https://nursing.ubc.ca/community/events/2025/launch-real-face-of-mens-health-reportConnect with Dr. Oliffe-Website: www.menshealthresearch.ubc.ca-LinkedIn: http://ca.linkedin.com/in/johnoliffe***Tired of feeling like you're never enough?

In this episode of PlanningXchange, we speak with Scott Matheson, Head of Planning at MyLot, an Australian AI technology company focused on simplifying the planning process for councils and communities. With a background in statutory planning across local government, consultancies, and the Victorian Department of Transport and Planning, Scott brings both practical experience and a forward-thinking approach to the role of technology in urban planning. We explore Scott's journey from traditional regulatory planning into the dynamic world of AI, discussing how MyLot is transforming development assessments with automated tools and data-driven insights. Scott shares examples of how AI can enhance transparency, reduce processing times, and better engage citizens—while still respecting the role of professional judgment and community context. We also discuss the broader implications of AI on the planning profession, potential ethical concerns, broader strategic analysis, impacts on employment and how planners can position themselves to work with emerging technologies rather than against them. 
In Culture Corner / Podcast Extra, Scott shares a light-hearted story about using AI to open up relationship discussions. Jess recommends the Netflix documentary Titan: The OceanGate Submersible Disaster, which examines the events leading up to the 2023 implosion of the Titan submersible during a deep-sea expedition to the Titanic wreck site. https://www.netflix.com/au/title/81712178 Pete recommends investing in a pair of Stihl chainsaw chaps for serious chainsaw safety.https://shop.stihl.com.au/function-core-270-chaps PlanningxChange is proud to be a member of the UBC.

Men are struggling – according to a new study on men's health. New data from the Movember Institute of Men's Health shows that nearly half of Canadian men will die prematurely – before the age of 75 – from largely preventable causes. Men also account for three out of every four suicides in the country. Former Health Minister Mark Holland and study author and UBC professor Dr. John Oliffe, discuss the systemic, social, and psychological factors behind these outcomes, and call for a national men's health strategy.

Federal Transport Minister Chrystia Freeland wrote a letter slamming B.C. Ferries over its decision to award a shipbuilding contract to Chinese state-owned company CMI Weihai Shipywards. She said she was "surprised" the transportation authority was not mandated to have Canadian involvement in procurement.

Dr. Deborah Money, professor of obstetrics and gynecology at UBC, joins the show to talk about improving compassionate care for patients who experience miscarriages.

La misokinésie, littéralement « haine du mouvement », décrit la réaction négative – irritation, anxiété ou colère – qu'éprouvent certaines personnes lorsqu'elles voient de petits gestes répétitifs : un pied qui tressaute, un stylo qu'on fait tourner, des cheveux entortillés. À la différence de la misophonie, déclenchée par des sons, le stimulus est ici exclusivement visuel. Longtemps ignoré, ce trouble n'est pourtant pas anecdotique : une étude de 2021, menée par l'Université de Colombie-Britannique (UBC) et publiée dans Nature/Scientific Reports, montre qu'un adulte sur trois déclare en être affecté, à des degrés variables, et que l'intensité du malaise peut dépasser celle ressentie face à des bruits équivalents.Les chercheurs ont réparti 4 126 participants en trois cohortes successives, étudiant la fréquence des réactions, leurs émotions associées et les conséquences sociales. Ils constatent que 33 % des sujets ressentent régulièrement une gêne tangible devant ces micromouvements, tandis que 10 % décrivent une détresse si forte qu'ils préfèrent fuir salles de cours, cinémas ou transports en commun. La misokinésie s'accompagne souvent d'une anxiété sociale accrue et coexiste avec la misophonie, suggérant un terrain d'hypersensibilité sensorielle partagé. Beaucoup de participants rapportent des stratégies d'évitement – siéger au fond d'une classe ou détourner leur regard – mais disent que ces solutions restent épuisantes à long terme. Les participants plus âgés rapportaient un seuil de tolérance légèrement supérieur, mais le phénomène traverse tous les groupes démographiques.Quels circuits cérébraux sont en jeu ? Aucune imagerie n'a encore exploré spécifiquement la misokinésie, mais les données sur la misophonie et sur le système miroir offrent des indices. Observer une action active naturellement un réseau miroir – aires prémotrices et pariétales – relayé par l'insula antérieure et le cortex cingulaire antérieur, pivots du réseau de la saillance. Dans la misophonie, ces régions présentent une hyper-réactivité et une connectivité renforcée avec l'amygdale, génératrice de réponses émotionnelles vives. Les auteurs de l'étude UBC supposent qu'une séquence de gestes répétitifs déclenche, chez les sujets misokinétiques, ce circuit miroir « hors gabarit », envoyant en quelques centaines de millisecondes un signal aversif qui se traduit par tension musculaire, accélération cardiaque et envie irrésistible de détourner le regard.Reconnaître la misokinésie est essentiel : il ne s'agit ni d'un caprice ni d'une lubie. La détresse qu'elle provoque peut conduire à l'isolement, au burn-out et à la détérioration des relations de travail. Des stratégies simples existent : masquer la source de mouvement, réaménager l'espace, demander au voisin d'immobiliser son pied ou pratiquer la pleine conscience pour diminuer la vigilance automatique. Des thérapies cognitivo-comportementales adaptées aux stimuli visuels sont à l'essai, tandis que de futurs protocoles d'imagerie devraient clarifier la part exacte du système miroir et ouvrir la voie à des interventions neurociblées.

The District of Squamish is continuing to uphold its local state of emergency as the nearby Dryden Creek wildfire burns out of control. The B.C. government says the outlook points to an active wildfire season. Lori Daniels, the co-director of the Centre for Wildfire Coexistence at UBC, joins the show to discuss what lessons can be learned from previous wildfire seasons and how to best prevent human-caused wildfires.

In 2021, a deadly heat dome produced a devastating wildfire season across British Columbia. While immediate media coverage often focuses on evacuations and the numbers of homes destroyed, many First Nations say what these fires do to the land in their territories — and the cultural lives of their communities — is often overlooked. "These fires are killing our way of life," says a Tmicw coordinator for the St'át'imc Chiefs Council. IDEAS visited St'át'imc territory around Lillooet, B.C. to learn how 21st-century wildfires are reshaping the landscape — and their consequences for plants, animals, and humans alike. *This is part one in a two-part series.Guests in this series:Chief Justin Kane, elected Chief of Ts'kw'aylaxw First Nation Michelle Edwards, Tmicw coordinator for the St'át'imc Chiefs Council and the former Chief of the communities of Sekw'el'was and Qu'iqten Sam Copeland, senior land guardian for the P'egp'ig'lha Council Luther Brigman, assistant land guardian for the P'egp'ig'lha Council Travis Peters, heritage supervisor and interim lands manager for Xwísten First Nation Gerald Michel, council member and the Lands Resource Liaison for Xwísten First Nation Denise Antoine, natural resource specialist for the P'egp'ig'lha CouncilDr. Jennifer Grenz, assistant professor in the department of forest resources management at the University of British Columbia.

What do a Star Wars “making of” documentary, a UBC Film Society membership, and late nights at the Norm Theatre have in common? For UBC alum Greg Ng (BA'05), they sparked a passion for film editing that's turned into a fascinating career — one that's enabled him to work on some of the biggest Hollywood horror films of recent years. In this episode, Carol and Jeevan sit down with the award-winning film editor to trace his journey into the industry. From his work on chilling features like Longlegs and The Monkey to his shaping of compelling documentaries (The Grizzlie Truth, Saints and Warriors) and acclaimed TV series (Allegiance, Bones of Crows), Greg shares insights on storytelling through editing — and why the editor's role is one of the most powerful, yet invisible, in any production.LINKSContact CarolContact JeevanFrom Here ForwardGUEST & WORKGreg NgThe MonkeyLonglegsUBC Film Production Program (00:00) - Introduction (01:42) - – What Is Film Editing?

Send us a textOn this episode of the CMAJ Podcast, hosts Dr. Mojola Omole and Dr. Blair Bigham explore how changes to mifepristone regulation have reshaped abortion access in Ontario. Unlike most other countries, Canada allows the drug to be prescribed by any physician or nurse practitioner and dispensed by any community pharmacy, without additional restrictions or special certifications. The discussion draws on the article Changes in local access to mifepristone dispensed by community pharmacies for medication abortion in Ontario: a population-based repeated cross-sectional study, recently published in CMAJ.Dr. Laura Schummers, reproductive epidemiologist and lead author of the study, explains how the 2017 policy change contributed to a significant shift in abortion access. Before mifepristone, abortion care in Ontario was concentrated in fewer than 100 clinics, most of them in urban centres. Within five years of the regulatory change, the percentage of Ontario abortion service users with local access rose from 37% to 91%. Dr. Schummers also notes that this shift happened even though only one in five pharmacies dispensed the drug. She describes how earlier work demonstrating the safety of medication abortion helped support these policy changes.Dr. Wendy Norman, a professor of family practice at UBC and co-author on the CMAJ study, outlines what clinicians need to know about prescribing mifepristone. She explains that it can be safely offered without ultrasound or lab testing in many cases, and that virtual care is a viable model for appropriate patients. Dr. Norman also provides practical advice on gestational age limits, follow-up requirements, and how to identify patients at risk for ectopic pregnancy.This episode offers physicians a clear picture of how a regulatory approach that treats mifepristone like any other prescription medication has expanded abortion access across Ontario—and what it takes to incorporate this care into practice.For more information from our sponsor, go to MedicusPensionPlan.comJoin us as we explore medical solutions that address the urgent need to change healthcare.

In this edition of UBC "Sermon Discussions" Jason and Jesse discuss the question: How Did We Get So Many Christian Denominations?The question comes from UBC's “Asking for a Friend” sermon series. Questions discussed in this episode: Is it a good or bad thing that it feels like there is “a different denominational church on every corner?”Define essential Christianity?How does one recognize “False teaching” versus “difference in doctrinal theology” in denominations (for example: baptizing infants)What denominations, although they identify as “Christian,” are concerning to you and why?Where does Catholicism fit with the definitions from today? Catholicism does seem to hold the Nicene Creed true, but there are other areas that do not seem to hold with other Biblical truths.Sermon application point #3 instructed us to “Resolve to love Jesus' church in all its denominational forms.” What should that look like for us when considering that so many denominations have accepted and promoted liberal theology and practices that are unbiblical? (Same-sex marriage, pro-choice, errancy of scripture, etc…)What are our secondary convictions at UBC?UBC is a Baptist church. What does it mean to be a Baptist? Is there anything that makes Baptists distinct from other denominations?Briefly explain why UBC is part of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC)?As a reminder we have created a place where you can send us your questions regarding the sermons or topics we discuss in these podcasts.

PACE's announcement followed a string of closures and service reductions at other organizations serving sex workers and other marginalized women. Jennie Pearson joins us to talk about why these closures happened and what's needed to support women in the Downtown Eastside. She is a PhD Candidate in the Interdisciplinary Studies Graduate Program at UBC. She is also a volunteer with PACE Society.

May 4th: In this edition of UBC "Sermon Discussions" Jason and Jesse discuss the question: “Is sin equal in God's eyes?” The question comes from UBC's “Asking for a Friend” sermon series. Questions discussed in this episode: If the ultimate end is either heaven or hell; how will sinners be judged differently? It seems either A or B. And if so, how does God control the judgements in hell?Do I need to confess my sins to someone else in addition to God?Do I need to be specific when repenting of my sins before God or can it be a blanket confession?Can certain types of sin lead someone further away from God than other sins?Why doesn't Exodus 21 (consequences for sin) apply to Christians today - or does it?Do certain sins determine a Christian's “status” when they get to heaven?Can the unrepentant “little lie” send someone to hell just like the unrepentant sin of adultery or murder would?What does it mean in Romans 1:18-24 when the Apostle Paul says God “gave them up” to their sins?Can a Christian ever become sinless after repenting of their sin and following Jesus?As a reminder we have created a place where you can send us your questions regarding the sermons or topics we discuss in these podcasts.

Join me for a fascinating conversation around an exciting breakthrough in dementia detection that's offering real hope for early intervention. Dr. Hans Frykman, Chief Scientific Officer at Neurocode Laboratories, is here to share groundbreaking insights into cutting-edge biomarkers that can identify pathology associated with Alzheimer's disease before symptoms even appear. What's even more fascinating is how these same tools are revealing neuroinflammation caused by infections, including COVID, Lyme disease, and mold exposure—issues that are incredibly relevant in functional medicine today. The assays Dr. Frykman and his team have developed, and continue to research, are transforming the way we think about diagnosing and addressing neurodegeneration. We're talking about a potential game-changer that allows us to intervene earlier, reverse damage, and ultimately improve the trajectory of these conditions. This is an extraordinary time in science and medicine, and the work we're discussing today is at the forefront of it all. Don't miss out on how this could reshape your practice. ~DrKF Check out the show notes at https://tinyurl.com/2t55s3y3 for the full list of links and resources.
