Peer-Reviewed Publication

Why do some people regularly attend the opera, visit art galleries, or go to classical music concerts—while others rarely, if ever, do? The easy answer might be, “They can’t afford it.” But according to recent research from the University of California San Diego Rady School of Management, the real explanation goes far beyond money.

Universitat Jaume I
Grant and Award Announcement

Four research teams from the fields of Materials Science, Education, Communication and Psychology at the Universitat Jaume I are taking part in four of the eight joint research actions launched under the EDUC-WIDE project, aimed at strengthening cooperation among the universities of the EDUC alliance and with their local research ecosystems.

The public university of Castelló is thus opening new opportunities for internationalization for its research groups in areas such as communication inequality, behavioural and psychophysiological research, inclusion, and materials science, strategic fields of the "Empowering EDUC for Inclusive Development of the ERA (EDUC-WIDE)" initiative, which has offered a major opportunity to expand international collaboration.

The Menopause Society
Peer-Reviewed Publication

CLEVELAND, Ohio (Oct 21, 2025)—Not all healthcare professionals receive the same type of formal education. That may help explain the results of a new study which suggests that provider type and specialty greatly affect whether a woman receives prescription medication treatment for menopause-related care and, if so, what kind of treatment she receives. Results of the study will be presented at the 2025 Annual Meeting of The Menopause Society in Orlando October 21-25.

National study finds public Montessori programs strengthens early learning outcomes -- at sharply lower costs compared to traditional preschool

University of Virginia
Peer-Reviewed Publication

The first national randomized trial of public Montessori preschool students showed stronger long-term outcomes by kindergarten, including elevated reading, memory, and executive function as compared to non-Montessori preschoolers. The research also appears highly actionable for policymakers, because the results found the Montessori programs delivered better outcomes at sharply lower costs. The study of 588 children across two dozen programs nationwide shows an imperative to follow and study these outcomes through graduation and beyond.
