Simi, before I worked here at CKNW, I was a university student who loved dogs, and I volunteered to be a foster home for rescue dogs. While I was volunteering, I was told that dogs who were vulnerable - such as pregnant dogs or puppies - were more likely to get sick while in the shelter. So those were the sort of dogs that were prioritized to find a foster home. However, new research from the University of British Columbia has found that there may be another factor that plays into whether a dog will become sick after entering a shelter… and that factor is: sociability.  I spoke with Dr. Alexandra Protopopova, an assistant professor at UBC's Faculty of Land and Food Systems, about her study and what it revealed about dogs.    Guest: Claire Allen  CKNW Contributor

Join Dr. Blye Frank, Dean of UBC's Faculty of Education for his inaugural FRANKLY SPEAKING event, featuring Professor Santa J. Ono, President & Vice-Chancellor, UBC; Dr. Stan Kutcher, Sun Life Financial Chair in Adolescent Mental Health, and Director, World Health Organization Collaborating Center in Mental Health Policy and Training; and Jessica La Rochelle, BA'06, Assistant Director, NITEP and Leader, NITEP Mental Health and Wellness Program.

The topic of ‘human-robot interaction' will still be a hot one in 100 years. The tools may change but the problems, such as “How do people and robots get along?” will remain the same. Questions surrounding what robots should do; and how we can share, operate safely, communicate, take turns, teach robots, and generally get along together will continue to be problems requiring solutions. The efforts we make to establish the ‘rules of engagement' now will certainly be foundational to our future relationships. Moderated by Marc Parlange - Dean and Professor, UBC's Faculty of Applied Science. This talk was recorded May 28, 2016 at UBC100: What's Next? at UBC's Vancouver campus.
