Maritime Noon Interview Stephen was interviewed by CBC Radio's "Maritime Noon" on hypothermia research in January 2004. This 12 min live interview discussed the basics of human response to cold, the process & science of rewarming hypothermic victims, and individual factors that pre-dispose some to higher risks of developing hypothermia. Also, Stephen might be the first doctor in history to actually recommend obesity as a good thing!
   
Quirks and Quarks 2003 Interview Stephen was on CBC Radio's "Quirks & Quarks" annual Christmas 2004 Questions Show on 'Why is sweat salty?' Among other things, we learn just how sweat glands work, who is the world record sweat-meister, and the threat of dehydration. Guess the world's worst radio interview sign-off!
