With drink spiking an ever-pervasive concern, how can we make nightlife safer for everyone? Thanks to UBC researchers, there’s now a stir stick that anyone can use to detect drugs like GHB and ketamine in their drinks. In this episode, Carol and Jeevan hear all about this innovative new tool — Spikeless — from Dr. Johan Foster, UBC Chemical and Biological Engineering Associate Professor, and Sasha Santos, an educator with UBC’s Sexual Violence Prevention and Response Office. Listen to this comprehensive discussion to learn more about bridging the gap between scientific solutions and everyday practicalities, the need to avoid placing responsibilities on the vulnerable, and their hopes that all beverage-serving venues will join the effort.
