I sat down with You Vs Me in their acoustic outfit with Mark Kilfoil operating the boards. We talked about promotional deals, shaking a hand angrily at the sky, and the classic nintendo / atari game “Joust”. Confused?
Then check it out! They were a lot of fun both in studio and at the show, and I’m personally looking forward to seeing them again.

Ahem.
Find out more about what makes this band “The Strange” as we talk about all sorts of inappropriate things (hence it being at Night), as well as discussing the inspirational motions put forward by planetary alignments and Jim Carrey.
Seriously though, this band has a wicked sound that you don’t want to miss. MD out!
PS: Doesn’t the drummer look awesome bathed in light?

Unfortunately, the March Break and a last-minute problem mean that we won’t be bringing you hockey coverage tonight.
We are fully committed to full coverage of the CIS Nationals games starting on March 22, including bringing back Dave Ritchie as play-by-play host.
Good luck to the UNB V-Reds in their 3rd game of the AUS Championships! The series stands at 2-0 for the V-Reds, so they could sweep it in three!
Episode #5: in our fifth episode, I get the chance to speak with local practicing Psychologist Dr. Jean Craven. As the first head of the Psychological Wellness Center here on UNB campus, Dr. Craven is part of leading a team of practitioners to cost-effectively address community mental health needs. We discuss some aspects of individual versus group therapy, use of predictors in the development of psychopathology coupled with hesitation to diagnose certain disorders in children, and other long-term aims of the Psychological Wellness Center.

Episode #4: in this more poised interview with professor emeritus Dr. Will Van De Hoonard, he discusses his qualitative research about slow scholarship. We hear about the follies of a rushed and projective research system, the reductive nature of the research results in use, and the strengths of more qualitative approaches. This includes increased respect and regard for all the participants, less bias and pre-judgement from the researcher themselves, and slow qualitative research can be done much more cheaply than many traditional types of research relying on hundreds of participants.

Episode #3: in our third episode, we interview sex researcher (and dancing queen) Ashley Thompson. Her work focuses on sexual attitudes. Think you don’t come with any biases about what you do and don’t prefer? The cognitive aspects of Ashley’s work help prove in many cases that you’re wrong! We explore facial perception as well. Clearly, with researchers like Sandra Byers and Lucia O’Sullivan working here, UNB is the place to study sex.

Episode #1: In our first episode of “The Scientific Sandwich”, we get a chance to speak with Adrianna Del Palacio about her psychology research. She talks about her research in Depression and Anxiety disorders and their relation to cognition. If CBT is so effective against both genres of disorders, when why do we see interaction effects that reduce effectiveness against more sever types of depression?
