• An editorial in RRHH Digital (in Spanish) about corporate gender wage gaps mentions a 2014 study led by David Newton, assistant professor in the Department of Finance, and Mikhail Simutin of the University of Toronto, exploring how the gender and age of corporate CEOs affect how they set wages. The study was published in the journal Management Science.
• Le Progrès de Coaticook writes about a flood-risk study on the Coaticook River in the eastern townships it says will be conducted by a team of researchers from Concordia, Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières and Université du Québec à Rimouski. 
• Reader'sDigest.com posts an article in which it mentions a 2011 Concordia study that found children as young as 14 months can differentiate between a credible person and a disingenuous one. While the article does not identify the researchers, the paper “Infants prefer to imitate a reliable person,” published in the journal Infant Behavior and Development, was coauthored by psychology professor Diane Poulin-Dubois, then-doctoral candidate Ivy Brooker and Alexandra Polonia, of Concordia.
• Passion Santé (Belgium) writes about research led by recent PhD graduate in clinical psychology Sabrina Chiarella into how children pick up emotional markers from adults. The study demonstrated how infants can detect whether a person’s emotions are justifiable in a given context.
