- Academica Top 10 mentions research conducted by Helena Osana, professor in the Department of Education and CRDH researcher, and PhD candidate Nicole Pitsolantis in a story about elementary aged children in Ontario not meeting its provincial standards in math. Osana and Pitsolantis found that students are able to better understand math when teachers use real world examples. Techno-Science also features their research.
- An article in Psychology Today about Sheryl Sandberg’s Lean In: Women, Work and the Will to Lead and gender equity in the business world mentions research conducted by Steven Appelbaum, professor in the Department of Management. Appelbaum found that even though women may actually be better suited than men to hold leadership positions, only three percent of top executives among Fortune 500 firms are women.
