Sebastien Betermier, associate professor of finance at McGill Desautels, explains that its portfolio combines public equities with infrastructure, real estate and private assets to withstand changing market cycles.

Right-leaning Canadians’ trust in the bodies that manage Canadian elections has declined significantly since 2019, a McGill-led research team has found.

Their research draws on data collected between 2008 to 2021 by the Canadian Election Study (with about 72,000 respondents), as well as information gathered by the Media Ecosystem Observatory after the 2021 Canadian federal election (with nearly 3,000 respondents) and the Quebec election of 2022 (with approximately 1,500 respondents).

The arrival of generic semaglutide in Canada significantly improves the cost-effectiveness and affordability of recommended treatments for up to 2.1 million Canadians living with Type 2 diabetes who face a high risk of cardiovascular disease, according to a simulation study led by researchers at McGill University and the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre.

As organizations introduce AI-powered HR portals, Simon Blanchette, adjunct lecturer at McGill University, argues that technology alone cannot improve efficiency. Successful adoption requires purposeful planning, clear guidelines and employee training before systems are deployed.

Online conflict may strengthen social movements rather than undermine them, according to research from McGill Desautels' Emmanuelle Vaast, Professor of Information Systems, Vice-Dean of Research. Examining nearly 1.9 million posts related to the 2019 global climate strikes, researchers found that social media can bring distinct movements into conversation, allowing them to work through disagreements and eventually unite around shared goals.

Miranda Priestly’s commanding style in The Devil Wears Prada offers a lesson in how leadership expectations have evolved. Sabine Dhir, assistant professor at McGill Desautels, describes the fictional editor as a “heropreneur,” a leader who exercises tight control and pressures employees to set aside their own values to meet demanding expectations.

A McGill University-led study has uncovered a previously unknown ability of T cells that could change our understanding of how long-term immunity develops.

Scientists have long believed that tissue resident memory T cells – which remain in tissues after an infection has cleared and respond rapidly if the threat returns – are shaped primarily by biochemical signals.
