• Numerous media join coverage describing the Hypnoguard computer security system, developed by Concordia PhD candidate Lianying Zhao, with Mohammad Mannan, associate professor in the Concordia Institute for Information Systems Engineering. Hypnoguard is encryption software that can protect data on a computer in sleep mode. Mannan and Zhao, who recently filed a provisional US patent for the system, plan to have it commercially available in the near future: Canada Standard, The Statesman, Big News Network, Can-India, India Today, The Indian Express, Silicon India, News 18, I4U News.
• The Calgary Herald, MSN News and Environmental Research Web pick up coverage of a new study led by Ali Nazemi, assistant professor in the Department of Building, Civil, and Environmental Engineering, of how the flow of Alberta headwaters is under growing pressure from climate change. Restriction of Alberta river flow poses a threat to agricultural irrigation on the Prairies. The research was recently published in Hydrological Processes.
• Lien Mlultimédia (behind a paywall) writes about a recent symposium at UQAM where Concordia's Fabio Balli, a Milieux Institute member and Individualized Program graduate, presented an application developed for children with respiratory illnesses. 
• LaPresse.ca reports that Concordia is working with the ÉTS, Université Laval and aircraft parts manufacturer APN to create a digital maturity index that will be specific to the aerospace industry, with a goal of helping assess different aerospace companies' digital performance and leadership.
