The AMS app brings together useful features but if you’re short on phone space, it's not worth it. The app features maps that give advice like where to get beer and that hooking up in the Aquatic Centre puts you at risk of skin rashes (yikes).
Nobel prizes for 2016 had been released last week. It’s been awhile since UBC has had Nobel Laureates within its ranks, but it doesn’t mean all UBC's research is any less awesome. This week there are diseases back from the dead and designer pills.
