• Phys.Org features new research led by Onur Bodur, associate professor of marketing in the John Molson School of Business, and A. Selin Atalay of the Frankfurt School of Finance and Management that shows how distracted shoppers are not effective shoppers. The study describes how a consumer's ability to accomplish their shopping plans can be impaired by multitasking, such as engaging in a mobile phone conversation while plying a store's aisles.
• The Saskatoon Star Phoenix reprises an earlier article about the 'Lost Stories' project, headed by Ronald Rudin, history professor in the Faculty of Arts and Science and co-director of the Centre for Oral History and Digital Storytelling. The focus of the piece is on a Chinese businessman, Yee Clun, who challenged Regina City Hall in 1924 for the right to hire white women in his restaurant. Clun's is one of the 'Lost Stories' that will be published to mark Canada Day, 2017. 
• Daily RX News joins the worldwide coverage of a Concordia review of current research into the female orgasm. The review, led by Jim Pfaus, psychology professor in the Faculty of Arts and Science, and co-written by graduate students Gonzalo Quintana Zunino and Conall Mac Cionnaith, highlights the potential for female arousal from a great variety of sensory inputs.
