researchers are undertaking a study of concussion with help from the college's ice hockey team, the ubc dr alex rauscher heads up the team. his neck injury is unrelated to his work. concussion is the result of a hit to the head, but it could also be elsewhere on the body, that leads to accelerations of the brain inside the skull, and that means that the brain, you know, hits the skull from the inside and that can cause injury. i want to try to understand the accumulation of those repetitive impacts that hockey players sustain and how it affects long—term brain health. the team at ubc are making use of a variety of different technologies, such as smart mouthguards, which are fitted with sensors. a real novelty of a mouthguard is that it's got a really good mechanical coupling with the skull, so you can get a good representation of what impacts the players sustain, how hard they get hit, what direction the impact�*s occurring. while wearable sensors provide information about the number of times a player is hit and the amount of force that's exerted on them during an impact, there is debat

. >> right, and they are being used by these ubc members to teach children. i actually teach -- the member of women in the late 80s that were in the children of the confederacy when the early you dc was leading this movement. they would tell me about not only the portraits of their military leaders and heroes that were in the classroom but the fact that there udc leaders would take them down to the local confederate monument to come part some history about that. that is the thing about these confederate monuments. they are never static. it is something where the children are taught to be taught lessons of the lost cause, the state rights. it wasn't about slavery. the sort of things. these things were happening. and then monuments are ritualized every year every confederate memorial day there is a another ritual, there are more speeches. that goes on for a few generations. what you will see in my book is by the time you get to the 1950s and the civil rights movement the rhetoric of confederate memorial day speeches has become about communism. or, anti communis

researchers are undertaking a study of concussion with help from the college's ice hockey team, the ubcorce that's exerted on them during an impact, there is debate amongst some experts that more attention needs to be focused on prevention of impacts in the first place. in rugby specifically, there have been changes to the laws of the game. in particular, the event that causes concussions is the tackle. sanctions have been put in place to try and reduce the occurrence of these high tackles. our understanding of the dangers of contact in sport continues to grow. rule changes occur and training improves, but work continues to make sports safer. marc there. now, more and more tech is being used in sport — some of it for the players, but also, some of it for the fans, to help enhance their experience. yeah, and one of those fans — one of the biggest fans we know — is paul carter. so, when he heard that the orange velodrome in marseille was experimenting with some of those ideas, well, he was there. i visited on the eve of their final game of the 2021—22 season — a must—win a game against st
