Dr Sherwood is 'the' world authority on the evolution of the gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) neuropeptide family. She sequenced salmon GnRH in 1903 and has since studied the hormone as expressed in a variety of other vertebrates. which has enabled her to construct an evolutionary tree showing the changes that the molecule has undergone over the last 500 million years. Her work has led to the development of synthetic GnRH analogs one of which is being manufactured and exported from Canada for use in a number of countries, particularly in SE Asia, to promote ovulation in cultured fishes.

Long Citation (for publication and press release) Sara Shettleworth is recognized internationally as a world-leading figure in the comparative study of animal cognition, learning, and memory. She was a pioneer in bridging the fields of experimental animal psychology with behavioral ecology or ethology. Professor Shettleworth's research on constraints in learning heralded a major paradigm shift by introducing evolutionary consideration to studies on learning. Her subsequent research on basic mechanisms in conditioning, animal foraging and spatial learning and memory, furthered our understanding of these functions and of their evolutionary significance. In her influential book, Cognition, Evolution and Behavior, she integrates the literature with great skill, and provides deep insights into the nature, and evolution, of the animal and human mind.

SHOESMITH, David – Department of Chemistry, Western University David Shoesmith is an internationally renowned corrosion chemist. He works towards a solution of a key environmental problem faced by today’s society, i.e., the safe disposal of nuclear waste. His studies are also of fundamental importance for the oil and gas sector, providing a framework for addressing pipeline integrity issues. Shoesmith’s electrochemical and surface analytical techniques, as well as his paradigm-changing modelling approaches have been adopted by countries around the world.

David Shoesmith est un chimiste en corrosion reconnu internationalement. Il cherche une solution à un problème environnemental important auquel fait face la société d’aujourd’hui; c.-à-d. : l’élimination sûre des déchets nucléaires. Ses études sont aussi d’une importance fondamentale pour le secteur pétrolier, fournissant un cadre pour aborder les problèmes d’intégrité des pipelines. Les techniques électromécaniques et analytiques de surface de Shoesmith, ainsi que ses approches de modélisation qui entraînent un changement de paradigme ont été adoptées par de nombreux pays à l’échelle mondiale.

Edward Shorter, a social historian with an extraordinary range, has written on problems connected with both Germany and France, and then published a general book on the making of the modern family. Subsequently he became particularly interested in the history of medicine. He has notably contributed to the understanding of women's encounters with ill health, and also gone on to examine the troubled history of doctors and their patients. Most recently he has been writing about the history of psychosomatic illness, on the sound premise that biology and culture interact in the production of symptoms. He is one of those exceptional people bridging medicine and social science, who at the same time has always sought to put our understanding of the past in a scholarly perspective which has won him recognition both abroad as well as on this continent.

SHEPARD SIEGEL, Professor of Psychology, McMaster University, has conducted much important research concerning the fundamental principles of learning, and the contribution of learning to homeostasis. He is best known for his research integrating principles of learning and drug effects. He has elucidated and assessed an analysis of drug tolerance that emphasizes the contribution of Pavlovian conditioning. This work, concerning the way in which responses to a drug are modulated by past experience with the drug, has been widely acclaimed as a landmark contribution to behavioural pharmacology.

SIEMERLING, Winfried – Department of English Language & Literature, University of Waterloo Winfried Siemerling is internationally recognized for his pioneering work on Canadian and other North American literatures and cultures in comparative and transnational perspectives. Critically acclaimed for his incisive theorization of English, French and black Canadian writing, Siemerling has influentially repositioned Canadian cultural achievement within broader North American, hemispheric, and transatlantic contexts, breaking new ground with prize-winning works like The New North American Studies (2005) and The Black Atlantic Reconsidered (2015).

Winfried Siemerling est reconnu mondialement pour son analyse novatrice de la littérature canadienne et des autres littératures nord-américaines dans une perspective comparative et transnationale. Salué par la critique pour sa théorisation éclairante des ouvrages en anglais et en français, de même que ceux issus de la communauté noire au Canada, Siemerling a joué un rôle majeur dans le repositionnement des contributions culturelles canadiennes dans le contexte plus vaste nord-américain, hémisphérique et transatlantique, en innovant avec des ouvrages primés tels The New North American Studies (2005) et The Black Atlantic Reconsidered (2015).
