Led by Education professor Daniel Ansari, the new Centre for the Science of Learning looks to generate evidence-based insights into how children learn best and then work closely with school boards and teachers to put that knowledge into classrooms and education boardrooms.
From studying specific brain mechanisms that support math skills to learning more about internalized weight stigma, Western welcomes two new Banting Postdoctoral Fellowship recipients, thus named among only 70 nationwide.
As Ingrid Johnsrude looks ahead, she knows looking back will play an important role in the future of Western’s Brain and Mind Institute (BMI).
Three professors are the latest recipients of Distinguished University Professorships (DUP) awards, joining a select group of faculty members recognized for exceptional scholarly careers
Generating a better understanding on everything from meteorites, autism and heart disease drug, to asthma and air pollutants, Western researchers are sharing in more than $1 million in funding from the federal Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) John R. Evans Leaders Fund (JELF).
Body-image expectations tied to a partner’s pornography use might be a contributing factor to some women developing eating disorders, a joint study by Western University and Ohio State University suggests.
No need to wait (or Wait Wait), Lindsay Bodell takes a turn on Read. Watch. Listen. right now.
Word problems pose a unique challenge for those with developmental language delays (DLDs), perhaps ironically putting words the root of their numbers problem, according to a Western study.
