C.R. Barnes is an expert on conodonts, animals of unknown biological affinities but of great importance in geological correlation. His pioneer TEM and SEM studies have produced a model for structure and evolution of apparatuses and a new notation scheme for conodont elements. He has erected a continental faunal scheme and his basic data have been important to mapping and hydrocarbon exploration in the Arctic. Spin off has included important contributions to paleoecology, including recognition of the nektobenthonic habitat of most conodonts. He has been an exceptional leader in his own university and for the entire Canadian geoscience community.

Timothy Barnes' publication list and the reviews of his books speak for themselves. His work on Roman History, both Christian and pagan, has ranged over the whole imperial period from Augustus to the 5th Century A.D., but his most important contributions to date deal with the relations between political and ecclesiastical history and with complex matters of historiography. In particular his magisterial "New Empire" will be a standard work for decades and provides much of the necessary raw material for serious research on the crucial reign of Constantine. Internationally, Barnes is at the top of his field.

Cheryl Barnabe is a Métis academic rheumatologist and clinical epidemiologist, who is leading clinical and research programs that are redefining specialty health services delivery to Indigenous patients living with arthritis.

Le Prof. Barreiro a été nommé par la revue Cell comme l’un des quarante chercheurs les plus prometteurs au monde.

BARRETT, Lisa Feldman- Department of Psychology, Northeastern University Lisa Feldman Barrett is an internationally recognized pioneer in the scientific study of emotion. Her work seamlessly integrates philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience. She is best known for her groundbreaking work on emotional experience in humans, and for demonstrating the importance of language in the ability to perceive emotional expressions. In a series of seminal conceptual papers that quickly became modern classics in the field, her work challenged dominant emotion models, leading a paradigm shift in the field.

Ses travaux intègrent la philosophie, la psychologie et les neurosciences. Elle est particulièrement réputée pour ses recherches innovatrices sur les émotions humaines, et pour avoir démontré l’importance du langage dans la capacité à percevoir l’émotivité. Elle a exposé ses concepts dans une série de publications qui sont rapidement devenues des classiques dans le domaine. Ses travaux ont remis en question les idées reçues à propos des émotions et ont entraîné l’adoption de nouvelles idées à ce propos.

Spencer Barrett - Department of Botany, University of Toronto A leading authority on the reproductive biology of flowering plants and one of the world's pre-eminent plant evolutionary biologists, Dr. Barrett's recent investigations provide the most compelling evidence for mechanisms governing evolutionary transitions in reproductive systems and for the contemporary evolution of local adaptation during biological invasions. His work pioneers a functional approach to plant reproduction, interpreting mating and its consequences within the broader context of life-history evolution.

Autorité de premier plan en biologie de la reproduction des plantes à fleurs et biologiste de l'évolution des plantes parmi les plus éminents au monde, Spencer Barrett a récemment mis au jour des données probantes sur les mécanismes régissant les transitions évolutives dans les systèmes de reproduction ainsi que sur l'évolution contemporaine de l'adaptation locale lors d’invasions biologiques. Ses travaux ouvrent la voie à une approche fonctionnelle de la reproduction des plantes, permettant d’interpréter leur croisement et ses conséquences dans le contexte plus large de l'évolution du vivant.

Leonard Barrie is a world renowned atmospheric scientist whose pioneering research that has spanned the topics of acid rain, Arctic air pollution, ozone depletion, and climate change. His research has significantly advanced understanding of acid deposition, the behaviour of acidic gases and particles in the atmosphere, the origins and composition of Arctic haze including the pathways of organic and metal contaminants into the Arctic, ozone depletion in the Arctic troposphere and the role of aerosols in climate change. Dr. Barrie has published 121 journal papers and 10 book chapters, and plays a leading role in international air chemistry and climate programs.
