Research award renamed after Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s 카지노게임사이트 Nobel Laureate

Arthur B. McDonald Fellowships will recognize early-stage academic researchers

The Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) has named a national prize in honour of Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s 카지노게임사이트 Nobel Laurate Arthur McDonald.

Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s 카지노게임사이트 Nobel Laurate Arthur McDonald has been honoured by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) with a national prize in his name.  

The Arthur B. McDonald Fellowships will recognize early-stage academic researchers in the natural sciences and engineering and support them to enhance their research capacity, so that they can become global leaders in their field. Worth $250,000 over two years, these awards were previously known as the EWR Steacie Memorial Fellowships and 10 have previously been awarded to Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s researchers including John Smol, Troy Day, Ahmed Hassan, and Peter Boag. 

Unlike NSERC카지노 게임 컬렉션�s other prizes, which recognize previous research accomplishments, the McDonald Fellowship supports ongoing and future research and therefore comes with an additional grant of up to $180,000 to the winner카지노 게임 컬렉션�s university to fund a replacement for the winner카지노 게임 컬렉션�s teaching and administrative responsibilities. 

카지노 게임 컬렉션�This is a tremendous honour from NSERC,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Dr. McDonald. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�I am particularly pleased because these fellowships will support early-stage academic researchers at a critical point in their careers. I know that there will be wonderful results in future from these creative young Fellows who will be given time and resources to pursue an innovative new idea.카지노 게임 컬렉션� 

Joining Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s in 1989 as a professor in the physics department, Dr. McDonald worked as the director of the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO), the world카지노 게임 컬렉션�s deepest underground laboratory. The SNO team discovered that neutrinos 카지노 게임 컬렉션� sub-atomic particles considered the basic building blocks of the universe 카지노 게임 컬렉션� change from one type to another on their journey to Earth from the sun. This finding confirmed that these fundamental particles have a finite mass and that the current models for energy generation in the sun are very accurate. 

For his research efforts, Dr. McDonald was named the co-winner of the 2015 Nobel Prize in physics for SNO카지노 게임 컬렉션�s research into neutrinos. 

카지노 게임 컬렉션�The Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s community and Canadians continue to be inspired by the work of Dr. McDonald and his collaborators in helping us understand the fundamental building blocks of the universe,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Kimberly Woodhouse, Vice-Principal (Research). 카지노 게임 컬렉션�Throughout his career, Dr. McDonald has been a mentor and advocate for early-stage researchers across disciplines, and his name being attributed to this award is very fitting.카지노 게임 컬렉션� 

A second Nobel Laureate, Donna Strickland also had an NSERC award named in her honour. The NSERC Donna Strickland Prize for Societal Impact of Natural Sciences and Engineering Research will be awarded annually to an individual or team whose outstanding research has led to exceptional benefits for Canadian society, the environment and/or the economy.
