Whoever heard of a motorsports lawyer? A graduate of Western University's Faculty of Law, Mark Boudreau has always been more interested in the business side of motorsports than harboring any interest in racing himself. This interest led to his founding of Motorsport Prospects, a global online resource providing racers of all type access to information to help them go faster on the track and succeed off it. Mark applies the same concept of due diligence used in the legal field to the research he conducts both for the Motorsport Prospects directory and for individual clients. He is passionate in ensuring that all racers, their family and advisors have the information they need to make an informed motorsport-related decision.

Using the University of Arizona's Large Binocular Telescope atop Mt. Graham in southern Arizona, Dr. Paul Wiegert of Western University in Canada, led a team of astronomers who have determined that a 2 mile diameter object bucks the solar system traffic by traveling in a direction backwards to all of the planets. In their March 30, 2017 article in the journal Nature, these astronomers confirm that 2015 BZ509, travels about Jupiter on a path in a direction opposite to nearly every other member of our solar system. Amazingly it has avoided a collision with Jupiter by using the giant planet's gravity to maintain a path that has been stable for a million years or so. This astounding trick is performed as 2015 BZ509 passes once inside and once outside of Jupiter's orbit as they both travel about the Sun. The resulting effect of Jupiter's timely gravitational pulls on this small asteroid are exactly right to keep it from having a collision or from being ejected from the solar system.

Many smokers turn to nicotine gums, patches or lozenges to try and kick the habit. But now, experts say that some non-smokers are using those products to boost attention and fine motor skills. They're doing so despite studies showing that nicotine is as addictive as cocaine or heroin. Steven Laviolette, a professor in the Schulich School of Medicine at Western University, explains what nicotine does to the brain. For transcripts of The Dose, please visit: lnk.to/dose-transcripts.

Send us a textAn article in CMAJ, "Move more, age well: prescribing physical activity for older adults," found that regular physical activity can reduce all-cause mortality by 31%. As Canada's population ages, maintaining physical activity is becoming an increasingly critical factor in healthy aging. On this episode, Dr. Samir Sinha, a geriatrician at Sinai Health and the University Health Network and co-author of the CMAJ article, explains the evidence supporting exercise as a tool for preventing frailty, cognitive decline, and chronic disease in older adults. He addresses common misconceptions about aging and physical activity, emphasizing that even small, progressive increases in movement can help people stay independent longer.Physiotherapist Steve Di Ciacca, program manager at the Canadian Centre for Activity and Aging at Western University, outlines practical ways clinicians can help older patients build movement into their daily routines. He discusses the role of social engagement, personalized goal-setting, and structured exercise programs in improving adherence. He also highlights evidence showing that a simple written prescription for physical activity can increase adherence by up to 10%.This episode provides evidence-based insights to help clinicians encourage physical activity in older patients, promoting better long-term health outcomes.For more information from our sponsor, go to md.ca/tax.

On this episode, Emily Kircher-Morris and Dr. Daniel Ansari discuss the complexities of math education, including the anxiety it can cause in students, the challenges of teaching methods, and the importance of understanding learning difficulties like dyscalculia. They talk about the importance of explicit instruction in math, the role of neuroscience in understanding how children learn math, and the significance of working memory and attention in math learning. Educators and parents will also get suggestions for practical strategies that will help them support students struggling with math. TAKEAWAYS Math anxiety affects both children and adults. Explicit instruction is crucial for teaching math. Dyscalculia is often misunderstood and underrecognized. Teaching methods should align with children's developmental levels. Neuroscience reveals links between spatial and numerical processing. Math anxiety does not equate to a lack of ability. Timed practice should be engaging, not competitive. Working memory plays a significant role in math learning. Multisensory approaches can enhance math instruction. Parents should seek community and resources for support. Assisting Students Struggling with Mathematics from the Institute of Education Sciences The Think Inclusive Podcast episode Emily talked about - Saving ED: Why the U.S. Department of Education is Essential for Students with Disabilities This episode is sponsored by The Council for Exceptional Children, getting ready for their Convention & Expo in Baltimore, March 12-15th.
