• Jim Pfaus, professor in the Department of Psychology, and Jeffrey Mogil, a psychology professor at McGill University, have investigated the direct impact of pain on sexual behaviour in mice. Their research reveals that females in pain are more likely to say no to sex than their male counterparts. The research is featured in McGill Reporter, India TV, JS Online, The Sentinel, Tech Times, Red Orbit and Sify News.
  
  
• Research conducted by Onur Bodur, professor in the Department of Marketing, in collaboration with Bianca Grohmann, professor in the Department of Marketing, and Kimberly Duval found that asking ourselves, or predicting, whether we will engage in sustainable shopping behavior can increase the likelihood of following through – especially when there’s an audience: Technobahn.
