If you follow the news, chances are you have heard of the growing diabetes crisis. Within just the last few decades, the incidence of diabetes has risen by as much as 90 per cent. It's becoming more common in children too. What gives?
The ’Birds dominated Friday night’s opening game of the conference quarter-finals, winning the game in three sets. They took the first set by a score of 25-16. The Wolfpack came back strong in the next two sets, but UBC held off their attack.
The Pride Collective is hosting a Zine and Art Fair in the Nest on Wednesday, where students can purchase zines, arts and crafts made by people in UBC’s LGBTQ+ community. It will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
