Researchers in the news
The scholarly work of Concordia faculty and researchers informs and improves society on many issues that affect our daily lives. Visit the Research section to read news stories involving research at Concordia, or read the most recent items here:
- Coverage appears in numerous media of two Concordia studies of genes that affect ageing by slowing or accelerating the mechanisms that limit lifespan. Vladimir Titorenko, professor of biology in the Faculty of Arts and Science and Concordia Research Chair in Genomics, Cell Biology and Aging led the studies with a group of fellow researchers: Science Daily (reprised by Long Room and linked by Environment Guru and CRWE World), (e) Science News, Medical Xpress, Science Newsline, UPI Health, Laboratory Equipment, Public Now (linked by World News) and Breitbart. An audio/video report on the studies is posted by All Media NY.
- Journal Métro (PDF version) runs the first of a twelve-part series of articles highlighting the various boroughs of Montreal. Jean-Philippe Warren, associate professor in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology in the Faculty of Arts and Science, Steven High, professor in the Department of History in the Faculty of Arts and Science, and Sherry Simon, professor in the Département d’études françaises, all contribute to the series. The borough of Hochelaga-Maisonneuve is featured in the first installment.
- Les Hommes Modernes references a Concordia study that showed how men influence their children's overall development by directly involving themselves in their education. While the article does not identify the researchers, it appears to refer to a 2011 study, published in the Canadian Journal of Behavioural Science, led by then-psychology PhD candidate Erin Pougnet.
