Cultural changes and the legalization of Cannabis are some of the potential causes of the decline that is driving campus establishments to shift their business model.
Wildfires release contaminants such as heavy metals and carcinogenic compounds into the environment, which can accumulate in water sources and pose long-term health risks.
AI chatbots can deliver exactly what users want with minimal effort, like a genie granting endless answers with the rub of a lamp. The idea, which researchers call the ‘AI Genie’ phenomenon, is at the centre of new research examining how chatbot design may contribute to addictive patterns of use.
Preterm infants rely on respiratory support to survive, but the same life-saving ventilation can also put their developing brains at risk. Researchers at UBC and the BC Children’s Hospital Research Institute are examining how preterm infants use oxygen in their brains to transform early neonatal care.
The 13th annual Canadian Conference for Undergraduate Women and Gender Minorities in Physics (CCUW*iP) was held at UBC from Jan. 30 to Feb. 1, welcoming students from universities across Canada.
UBC researchers have discovered a 70-year-old Parkinson’s drug to be a strong candidate for treating tuberculosis (TB) by using an innovative approach that bypasses traditional antibiotics.
