What's Happening in Arts & Science

A group of Biology students from Nipissing University recently got the chance to spend 10 days in western Newfoundland studying the impact of moose foraging behaviour on the ability of forests to naturally regenerate following disturbance.

Like it or not, conflicts arise.  Over time, we will all be faced with countless conflicts, some minor, some violently charged, others emotionally charged.  Sometimes conflict can be beneficial. How we work to resolve conflicts for a greater good is vital to a positive future.  Nipissing University is pleased to host a special lecture and workshop by Dr. Evan Hoffman on conflict resolution this weekend.  

Dr. Steven Arnocky, associate professor of psychology, and his team will utilize the lab to help clarify the complex interplay between personality, immune function, hormones, and social context and how such factors interact to predict mating patterns and behaviour, as well as competition, intimate partner violence and sexual violence.
