The short report aims to examine differences in self-rated general health across racialized post-secondary students at a university in Ontario, Canada. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to examine poor health as an outcome among racialized students as whole, as well as across Asian, South Asian, Afro-Caribbean and Middle Eastern student groups in comparison to white Caucasian post-secondary students. After adjusting for several covariates, racialized students as a whole had 2.43 times the odds of reporting poor general health compared to white Caucasian students. Asian (OR = 2.77; CI = 1.84-4.18; p < 0.05) and South Asian (OR = 2.52; CI = 1.56-4.08; p < 0.05) students were significantly more likely to report poor health compared to white Caucasian students. The findings call for further attention to the health needs of racialized post-secondary students living in Canada and creating campuses where diverse student populations feel safe and systemically included.

Double-resonance excitation of molecular nitrogen, N2, via selected rotational levels of the , v′ = 0 state has been used to probe the first two bands in the new Ogawa series [M. Ogawa, Can. J. Phys. 42, 1087 (1964)], which lie above the first ionisation threshold of the molecule. These bands are rotationally unresolved in room-temperature and jet-cooled absorption spectra, but the double-resonance technique allows a rotational analysis and first confirmation of the assignment as transitions to n = 4 members of the (A2Πu)ndπ, v Rydberg series. In principle, the probe transition from the , v = 0 level to these Rydberg states corresponds to a two-electron transition, and this aspect of the results is explored. Finally, velocity map imaging allows a determination of the photoelectron branching fractions and angular distributions, providing insight into the electronic autoionisation dynamics.
