Are GMO's really dangerous and should we avoid everything BPA? Teflon or stainless steel? Gluten-free, low–carb, or Paleo? Every day we face these types of questions and every day we must make a choice. A choice that comes down to science and what the evidence tells us. Dr. Joe Schwarcz, Director of McGill University's Office for Science & Society, helps us answer these questions with interesting tidbits of information, historical anecdotes, fun factoids, and interviews with the experts. Educational and entertaining, guaranteed you'll be listening and smiling at the same time. Read More

No area of science holds such promise for treating disease and improving human lives as stem cell research. But no area of science causes such fundamental ethical concern and such ferocious political conflict. In this short course, students will learn the fundamentals of stem cell biology, and study how these powerful cells could be used to make functional organs, treat diabetes or repair spinal cord injuries. With the science and technology firmly in hand, we will journey into the deep reaches of the controversy and examine the international explosion of stem cell research and how law and policy are affecting long-held American dominance in cell biology. New science often provokes a redefinition of ethical standards. Stem cells have reignited the debate about the embryo, abortion, and science run amok. We will leave the shrill rhetoric behind, discussing the question at the heart of the debate: How, as a society, do we balance our responsibilities to the unborn and the sick?
This course is presented in enhanced podcast format: the presentation images are synched with the audio track and will display in the album artwork section of your iTunes application. If the album artwork field is not already visible, go to the "View" menu and select "Show Artwork." Read More

These videos teach the fundamentals of a dynamic warm up. Dynamic Warm Ups involve movement, rather than static stretching, to prepare your body for what you will actually do in the upcoming workout, utilizing activity or sport specific movements. Dynamic warm ups also target areas of the body that tend to be tight or locked down: the goal is to open them up so they are able to load and unload your body weight safely and efficiently.
Because life and sport happen in all three planes, we need to warm up and train in all three planes of motion. These dynamic warm ups use a matrix system, where we tweak different fundamental movements in all three planes. For a general dynamic warm up, we focus on getting proper motion in the foot/ankle, hips and thoracic spine. We use different body parts as what we’ll call drivers, to drive the body through movement.
We have classified the movements based on the number of points of contact, or external stability. Level 1 movements have 3 points of contact, such as two hands on the wall and one foot on the ground, while the other foot is used as a driver. Level 2 movements have just 2 points of contact: typically two feet on the ground using the upper body and arms as drivers. Level 3 movements will have one or no points of contact. These activities include some sort of locomotion, or flight phase, like lunging, running, or shuffling. The final level, four, incorporates some type of overload with these movements, such as driving a dumbbell with the arms. A well- designed Dynamic Warm Up uses a combination of different levels, while tweaking in all three planes of motion, to address movement through the foot/ankle, hips, and thoracic spine.
These Dynamic Warm Ups start by isolating each target area, using all three planes of motion. Examples of each of the levels will help you see how to warm up using three, then two and then one or no points of stability. The goal is to allow the body to “move” and work as it was intended to – with integrated and sequential movement patterns, rather than isolating individual body parts. The Dynamic Warm Up trains movement, not muscles – which should improve performance, whether you are a world class athlete or a beginning exerciser.
