Department of Psychology News and Events:The Calgary Institute for the Humanities at the University of Calgary together with CBC "IDEAS" program present: Research seems to indicate that we're genetically inclined to optimism.

Carver, Distinguished Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Miami; Romin W. Tafarodi, an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Toronto and the department's own Giuseppe Iaria, Assistant Professor with research specialty in cognitive neuroscience.

His Neurolab deals with cognitive processes and neural mechanisms underlying the ability to orient and navigate one’s surroundings, as well as the ability to process facial identities and expressions. He is Adjunct Professor in the Department of Clinical Neurosciences and a research member at the Hotchkiss Brain Institute in the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Calgary.
