Congratulations to Amanda Burk, associate professor in the Fine and Performing Arts department, on earning third place for her drawing Quiescence, in the exhibition Drawing 2014 at the John B. Aird Gallery in Toronto.

Having your loved one poached might sound like a Valentine’s Day nightmare, but consider this:mate-poaching is an effective evolutionary tactic, even if it is heart-breaking. That’s the finding of a new study recently published in the Journal of Evolutionary Psychology, titled Mate-Poaching and Mating Success in Humans.
