Texas Accounting Chair Steven Kachelmeier Garners Coveted Award for Scholarship
AUSTIN, Texas — The American Accounting Association (AAA) presented its Lifetime Achievement Award for Behavioral Accounting Research to Steven Kachelmeier, a professor and chair of the Department of Accounting at The University of Texas McCombs School of Business. Kachelmeier, the Thomas O. Hicks Endowed Chair in Business, accepted this prestigious award during the weekend at the association’s 2024 Accounting Behavior and Organizations Research Conference in Montreal.
“Everyone at McCombs celebrates with Steve on this tremendous and thoroughly deserved honor,” said Texas McCombs Dean Lillian Mills. “Steve’s scholarship in behavioral accounting represents an incredible contribution to the field, the impact of which is felt every semester on campus — both through his award-winning teaching and through his leadership of the country’s top accounting program.”
The AAA’s Lifetime Contribution Award is given to an individual who has contributed substantially to the theory and practice of behavioral accounting research. “Steve’s original research has made tremendous contributions to scholarship and practice across many accounting subdisciplines,” the award selection committee said in a statement, adding that his work has bridged experimental traditions in economics and psychology. “In short, Steve’s influence in our field runs deep and wide.”
Kachelmeier’s work explores financial performance and management, often applying the methods of experimental economics to studies of human behavior. One of his most groundbreaking articles – written for The American Economic Review – examines people’s financial risk-taking preferences under high monetary incentives. He has published extensively in top accounting and economics journals, including The Accounting Review, the Journal of Accounting Research, and The American Economic Review.
Kachelmeier joined the McCombs faculty after earning a Ph.D. from the University of Florida in 1988. He hasserved as senior editor of The Accounting Review and as vice president for research on the board of directors of the AAA. In 2022, he began his term as chair of the Department of Accounting. The school’s undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral accounting programs are ranked No. 1 by U.S. News & World Report.
“It’s an honor to be recognized by my academic peers,” said Kachelmeier. “I’m passionate about behavioral research because accounting is shaped fundamentally by social interactions. It’s a passion I try to instill in our students.”

TORONTO, Oct. 22, 2024 – Today, the Centre for Aging + Brain Health Innovation (CABHI), powered by Baycrest launched Ignite, its new funding program to support Canadian innovators designing solutions for older persons. As Canada’s aging population rapidly grows – with nearly 20 per cent of people above the age of 65 – so too will the need for innovations that enhance the lives of older persons, including those impacted by dementia.
Canadian early-stage innovators – including researchers, point-of-care staff, and companies – are developing ...

A new artificial intelligence-based system can accurately assess the chromosomal status of in vitro-fertilized (IVF) embryos using only time-lapse video images of the embryos and maternal age, according to a study from investigators at Weill Cornell Medicine.
The new system, called "BELA,” and described in a paper published Sept. 5 in Nature Communications, is the team’s latest AI-based platform for assessing whether an embryo has a normal (euploid) or abnormal (aneuploid) number of chromosomes—a key determinant of IVF success. Unlike prior AI-based approaches, BELA does not need to consider embryologists' subjective assessments of embryos. ...

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Dangling from a weather balloon 80,000 feet above New Mexico, a pair of antennas sticks out from a Styrofoam cooler. From that height, the blackness of space presses against Earth’s blue skies. But the antennas are not captivated by the breathtaking view. Instead, they listen for signals that could make air travel safer.
Researchers from Sandia National Laboratories and Ohio State University are taking experimental navigation technology to the skies, pioneering a backup system to keep an airplane on course when it cannot rely on global positioning system satellites.

The interaction between humans and artificial intelligence is shaping a new thinking system, a new cognitive scheme, external to the human mind, but capable of enhancing its cognitive abilities. This is called System 0, which operates alongside the two models of human thought: System 1, characterized by intuitive, fast, and automatic thinking, and System 2, a more analytical and reflective type of thinking. However, System 0 introduces an additional level of complexity, radically altering the cognitive landscape in which ...

UPTON, N.Y. — Chemists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have developed a new theoretical framework for more accurately predicting the behavior of catalysts. These collections of atoms lower the energy needed for countless chemical reactions. The study reveals how conditions such as temperature and pressure can change a catalyst’s structure, efficiency, and even the products it makes. The findings are published in the journal Chem Catalysis.
“Our results highlight the significant impact ...

When X (formerly Twitter) changed its verification system in 2022, many foresaw its potential to impact the spread of political opinions on the platform. In a modeling study publishing October 22 in the Cell Press journal iScience, researchers show that having verified users whose posts are prioritized by the platform’s algorithms can result in increased polarization and trigger the formation of echo chambers. Because X’s new verification system allows almost anybody to become verified, this side effect could be taken advantage of by users wishing to manipulate others’ opinions, the researchers say.
“Our findings confirm ...

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22, 2024 – Disc golf is a sport growing in popularity, but there hasn’t been much research into the best techniques – until now.
Researcher Zachary Lindsey and his team studied professional and amateur disc golf players in Georgia to analyze the effect of thumb grip on disc-throwing.
“Participants were eager and excited to engage in the study, as there is clearly a thirst for scientific evidence and data to drive progress in the sport so that disc golf enthusiasts can improve their game in recreational and competitive contexts,” ...

About The Study: In this population-based cohort study including 392,000 mothers and 649,000 offspring, offspring from mothers with an eating disorder history or pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) outside normal weight were at higher risk of psychiatric disorders. The results differed somewhat between the 2 exposures with regard to which offspring diagnoses had associations, and effect sizes were typically larger for maternal eating disorders vs BMI. These findings suggest a need to consider these 2 exposures clinically to help prevent offspring mental illness.
