More attention needed for workplace links to breast cancer, say researchers

Jim Brophy and Margaret Keith, adjunct assistant professors in the Department of Sociology, Anthropology and Criminology, recently authored a resolution passed by the American Public Health Association based on their research into environmental and occupational links to breast cancer.

Brophy and Keith were initiators and co-authors of the resolution, “Breast Cancer and Occupation: A Need for Action,” as members of the University of Stirling’s Occupational and Environmental Health Research Group.

Clinic trains top-ranking psychologists—and turns a profit

You may pass the House on Sunset on your route to and from campus, and never know about the intensive training of future therapists that’s taking place there.

“We’re quite a good training centre,” says director Antonio Pascual-Leone. “Our main mandate is to train clinicians, or future psychologists, and we are actually one of the best in North America.”

Percussion duo takes the prize in performance

Percussionists Christopher Chamberlain (marimba) and Brandon Lefrancois (xylophone) are the 2015 recipients of the Ron W. Ianni Memorial Scholarship in Music Performance.

The two, both students of professor Nicholas Papador, joined forces to perform the rhythmic and intricate work Carousel before a full house at the Music Building on Sunday afternoon.

Nine musicians representing each instrument area competed for the scholarship after attaining top grades in the December performance juries. The $500 annual award is open only to full-time students enrolled in a music degree program. It was established by Mina Grossman-Ianni, who was on hand to enjoy the performances, and the School of Music in 2005 to honour the late president of the University of Windsor (1983-1996).

A panel of three jurors—Philip Adamson, Jonathan Bayley and Elspeth Maynard—assessed the finalists and announced the winner at the conclusion of the recital.
