New light on the Shoah. Special needs students. Very tiny bubbles.

Concordia faculty and researchers are regularly asked to offer expert, informed opinions on many of today's most pressing problems. Read some of the latest news items about Concordians:

• Marie Lamensch, project coordinator and assistant to the director of the Montreal Institute for Genocide and Human Rights Studies (MIGS) at Concordia, talks to Le Devoir about the announcement that the Wiener Library in London is making its vast UN war crimes commission archive accessible to researchers, who will have access to Holocaust-related documents dating back to 1943. Lamensch, who, the article notes, has worked at the Wiener Library, questions why it took so long to open the archive. She tells Le Devoir that the archive documents will confirm how few lessons have been learned from the Holocaust. 
• Le Journal de Québec picks up a story from Le Journal de Montréal quoting Gordon Dionne, manager of Concordia's Access Centre for Students with Disabilities (ACSD). The  article deals with special needs students, including those with attention deficit disorders, and what help is available to them as they move on from high school and CEGEP to university.
• Chemistry World quotes Steve Shih, assistant professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, in an article about a new ultrasound process that uses microbubbles.
