CSIOP is excited to announce our first AMA (Ask Me Anything) being hosted on Reddit by Nicholas Bremner (People Research Scientist at Uber) on November 15th, 11am-2pm EST at https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/dsj29z/announcing_ama_nov_15_csiop_nicholas_bremner/
Nicholas spends a lot of his time thinking about work – not because he’s stressed out, but because he probably enjoys thinking a little too much about how Industrial-Organizational Psychology can make workplaces better. Nicholas currently works at Uber as a People Research Scientist, where he conducts research to improve the employee experience and equip leaders with the data they need to make evidence-based decisions. Example projects at Uber include research on social impact and its relationship to employee engagement, and improving the candidate experience.
Nicholas holds a Masters in Management Science from the Telfer School of Management (University of Ottawa, Canada) and a PhD in Industrial-Organizational Psychology from Western University (Canada). He has broad interests related to science and work, but is particularly interested in the factors that attract individuals to organizations and cause employees to commit their full selves to their organization and work each day. Nicholas has published work on leadership, followership, personality, and employee commitment in peer-reviewed books and journals. He has also been invited to speak about topics such as employee engagement and why corporate social responsibility matters to employees at conferences across North America. In his spare time, Nicholas co hosts a podcast called MindYourWork (http://mindyourwork.io), which focuses on the intersection between social science and work.
He is happy to answer questions on pretty much anything, but he'd probably be best equipped to answer questions on:

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Dr. Victor Catano of the SMU Psychology Department. Vic was about to retire after 48 years on faculty at Saint Mary’s University. During his career he was a long-serving Chair of the Psychology Department as well as being active in the SMU Faculty Union – most recently serving as the Chair of the SMUFU negotiating committee through many rounds of collective bargaining.
Known as one of the leading Industrial/Organizational Psychologists in Canada, Vic was a Fellow of the Canadian Psychological Association, a recipient of the CPA Distinguished Contribution to Education award as well as the recipient of the CSIOP Distinguished Contribution to I/O Psychology award. He was an active researcher who valued the application of scientific knowledge in organizations. In April 2019 he received Presidential Recognition as a Scientist Practitioner from the Society for Industrial/Organizational Psychology. Vic founded the successful M.Sc. in I/O psychology program at Saint Mary’s and subsequently played a leading role in developing our PhD program in I/O psychology. His many graduate students remember him as an advisor who expected excellence and was always there to support their efforts.
Vic was a strong support of unionism – he was one the leading researchers on the psychology of unionization and his commitment was reflected in his professional activities. In addition to his involvement with SMUFU, he advised many other faculty unions through their bargaining and certification efforts. Vic served as the Chair of the C.A.U.T.’s Economic Benefits and Bargaining Committee as well as Chair of the C.A.U.T. Academic Freedom Committee. Ultimately, Vic also served as President of C.A.U.T.
Vic’s passing is a loss to the program, the department, the union and the University. Our thoughts are with his wife Jan, his two sons (Victor and Michael) and their families at this time. Vic’s life and contributions will be remembered at a memorial service in the near future. Details will be announced at a later date.
