Students at an Ottawa elementary school made a groundbreaking discovery through the "Cubes in Space" program – learning that EpiPens don't work in space.
The Program for Gifted Learners initiative gave students at St. Brother Andre Elementary School the opportunity to conduct research on the effects of cosmic radiation on the molecular structure of epinephrine, a medication used in emergencies to treat severe allergic reactions.
"We had two experiments," said Raina Smith, a PGL student at St. Brother André. "For the pure epinephrine, when we sent it on the research balloon, it came back but only 87 per cent of it was actually epinephrine. Thirteen per cent of it turned into benzoic acid, which is extremely poisonous."
Olivia Kwan, another student, said, "The professors that we partnered with didn't think there would actually be any change, but there was an actual change. And we know now that EpiPens don't work in space unless we find a way to protect them."
Chemistry and Bimolecular Professor Paul Mayer conducted the results in a lab at the University of Ottawa.
"We think it's the interaction of the sample with cosmic radiation, which is this high energy stuff that, once you get up to a certain altitude, it goes through everything," said Mayer.

A popular diner is closing its doors after 55 years.
The Brookfield Restaurant offers breakfast and lunch with some Lebanese dishes on the menu. The location on Brookfield Road started as a confectionery shop and still has a storefront.
Owner Joyce Aboud says it's time for a new chapter.
"I need to do other things," said Aboud. "I have four little grandkids and I have two daughters and a wonderful husband, so I really just want to spend more time with them and I find the store just takes up too much of my time."
The location will transform into another restaurant offering Greek food. Aboud’s last day is Jan. 31.

A Prince Edward County boy celebrated his fourth birthday at his favourite place – the grocery store.
Lev Goldfarb told his mother months ago that he wanted to hold it at the local grocery store, dubbing it his “Metro Party.”
In a post to Facebook, Hadas Brajtman says the boy loves to visit the store.
The store’s assistant manager, Paul Jones, says when he was approached about the idea, he loved it.
“I thought it was a lot of fun. I didn’t even waver whether I wanted to do it,” he said.
The party included a pizza station for the kids to make their own pizzas, and a place to decorate cupcakes in the bakery section. The break room became a kid’s party room, and staff sang the birthday song over the store’s PA system.
