In recent media appearances, Brock experts discussed staying fit in cold weather, the status of the Canada Post strike, the opioid crisis in northern Ontario, a recent funding boost to support grape and wine research, and using math to predict when individuals will start and stop behaviours.

Winter Workout Tips, From Scientists Who Study Extreme Cold: Professor of Kinesiology Stephen Cheung spoke to The New York Times about safe ways to exercise in the cold weather. He also spoke to Canadian Reviews about what VO2 max is and why the metric is a good overall indicator of health.

Public support key but harder to keep as Canada Post strike drags on, experts say: Professor of Labour Studies Larry Savage spoke to The Canadian Press about the latest developments in the ongoing Canada Post strike.

Associate Professor of Labour Studies Alison Braley-Rattai also spoke to CBC Radio about the strike.

Stigma may be making the opioid crisis worse in northern Ontario: Assistant Professor of Psychology Scott Neufeld spoke to CBC’s Morning North about his research on why the opioid crisis is worse in northern Ontario cities.

Brock University leading initiative to boost Ontario’s grape and wine industry: Brock’s Cool Climate Oenology and Viticulture Institute’s recent funding boost from the Ontario Research Fund was featured in Giant FM and The Grower. CCOVI Director Debbie Inglis also spoke about the VINO Solutions project, which is supported by this funding, with Newstalk 610 CKTB.

Research shows how math can predict when people will — or won’t — share news: Assistant Professor of Mathematics and Statistics Pouria Ramazi spoke to Newstalk 610 CKTB about his research on a mathematical model to predict when individuals will start and stop behaviours. The research was also featured in Thorold Today.
