• Gregory Kersten, professor of supply chain and business technology management at the John Molson School of Business, is featured in Le Devoir for his research into methods of negotiation, notably in the area of online bargaining. Kersten is Senior Concordia Research Chair in Decision and Negotiation Systems.
• The Globe and Mail features a research project being led by Krzysztof Skonieczny, assistant professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Canada Research Chair Tier II in Aerospace Robotics. Skonieczny is working to solve an apparent design problem with martian exploration rovers. He is attempting to determine if the seeming inability of exploration rovers to move across martian terrain is linked to wheel design, environmental factors or both. The article notes that Skonieczny has re­ceived a grant from the Flights for the Advancement of Science and Technology (FAST) program of the Canadian Space Agency (CSA).
• Psych Central and USA g net pick up coverage of  a study co-authored by Caroline Fitzpatrick, affiliate researcher at Concordia's PERFORM Centre, that describes how watching more than a couple of hours a day of television can be linked to lower school readiness skills in kindergartners. Fitzpatrick worked with researchers at New York University. The findings were published in the Journal of Developmental & Behavioral Pediatrics.
