William McAllister Johnson is a distinguished Art Historian whose scholarly contributions to the discipline have been widely recognized both in America and in Europe. A member of the Department of Fine Art at the University of Toronto since 1965, he is a regular contributor to the "Gazette des Beaux-Arts", the "Art Quarterly" and the "Revue de l'art", and is also, at present, the English language editor of the "Canadian Art Review". As a leading expert on the School of Fontainebleau, Professor Johnson was invited to help organize the monumental exhibition of Fontainebleau art held in Paris in 1972 and he also mounted an exhibition of French Lithography which was accompanied by an important scholarly catalogue published for the Agnes Etherington Art Centre at Queen's University, Kingston, in 1976. Professor Johnson supervises all library acquisitions in the field of Art History and Archeology at the University of Toronto libraries and is a consultant for the purchase of prints and drawings in areas deemed of interest for the Art Gallery of Ontario. In addition to his work on scholarly catalogues and other similar professional activities, Professor Johnson is co-author of three substantial books on sixteenth-century entries and court festivals, as well as some twenty-five articles. Two on-going projects which are appearing 'seriatim' are "A Critical Repertory of French Engraving at the Salon 1673-1824", and the "Canadian Illustrated News (Montreal): Index to Illustrations".

Heidi McBride is a Professor in the Department of Neurology and Neurosurgery at McGill University. She holds a Tier 1 CRC in Mitochondrial Cell Biology and is an international leader in the field of mitochondrial dynamics and signaling. She is renowned for her discovery of mitochondria-derived vesicles, whose functions range from quality control to peroxisomal biogenesis and immune signaling, with impact in areas of neurodegeneration, metabolic syndromes and rare diseases.

Heidi McBride est professeure au Département de neurologie et de neurochirurgie de l’Université McGill. Elle est titulaire de la Chaire de recherche du Canada de niveau 1 en biologie cellulaire mitochondriale et est une sommité mondiale du domaine de la dynamique et de la signalisation mitochondriales. Elle est renommée pour sa découverte des vésicules dérivées des mitochondries, dont les fonctions vont du contrôle de la qualité à la biogenèse peroxysomale et à la signalisation immunitaire, et qui jouent un rôle dans les domaines de la neurodégénération, des syndromes métaboliques et des maladies rares.

Kevin McCann is a leading theoretical ecologist that studies the role of biological structure in mediating the sustainability and functioning of whole ecosystems. His research has played a leading role in understanding the role species interaction strengths play in mediating the stable functioning of food webs. McCann is recently focusing his attention on sustainability under global change, working in fisheries, agro-ecosystems, human microbiome, and food production.

Kevin McCann est un théoricien de l’écologie qui s’intéresse au rôle joué par les structures biologiques dans la pérennité et le fonctionnement des écosystèmes. Ses recherches ont été déterminantes pour comprendre l’importance des forces d’interactions dans le maintien d’un fonctionnement stable des réseaux trophiques. Récemment, McCann a concentré ses efforts sur la pérennité des écosystèmes dans le contexte des changements globaux, en travaillant notamment sur les pêcheries, les agro-écosystèmes, le microbiome humain et la production alimentaire.

Long Citation (for publication and press release) Dr. Edward McCauley is among the most productive and imaginative ecologists nationally and internationally, and is one of the few people who have undertaken groundbreaking research in both theoretical and empirical ecology. He has established mechanisms underlying the presence and absence of cycles in population size in several species, concentrating on zooplankton and algae as a model system. He has also developed models that provide the best predictions of the impacts of nutrient addition on the diversity and abundance of algae in lakes and has shown how the special characteristics of flowing water affect ecological interactions in streams and rivers.

John William McConkey, Department of Physics, University of Windsor, is a physicist who has consistently demonstrated creativity and skill in designing and carrying out leading edge experiments involving electron-atom (molecule) collisions. He is recognized internationally as a world leader, and his data, covering many different types of electron interactions, are regarded as standards in the field. His work has demonstrated a keen awareness of the needs of the wider scientific community in addition to being carefully chosen to have maximum impact on the development of understanding in his own field at the most basic level. Recently, he has developed novel techniques to study the fragmentation of atmospherically important molecules via very specific dissociation channels.

Peter Joseph McCormick, Professor, Department of Philosophy, at the University of Ottawa, has made significant scholarly contributions in two areas of critical reflection on the perennially strained relations between philosophy and the arts. His books on rational interpretation, modernity and aesthetics, philosophical problems of poetics, and the appraisal of claims about the nature of language in modern poetry have substantially clarified the cognitive, affective, and pragmatic aspects of literary works of art. Conversely, these books have also demonstrated how understanding some literary artworks forces major conceptual revisions in many antecedent philosophical accounts of knowledge, emotion, and action.

Kathy McCoy is an internationally recognized leader in the field of microbiome and health research. She has made fundamental discoveries highlighting how the maternal and early life microbiome instructs development and function of the immune system. Her basic discoveries have also been instrumental in defining the mechanisms by which the microbiome regulates immune responsiveness during cancer immunotherapy.

Kathy McCoy est une chercheuse de renommée internationale dans les domaines du microbiome et de la santé. Ses découvertes fondamentales ont démontré le rôle déterminant du microbiome maternel et néonatal dans le développement et le fonctionnement du système immunitaire. De plus, ses études novatrices sur le rôle du microbiome dans la réponse aux traitements anticancéreux ont permis d’élucider des mécanismes fondamentaux par lesquels le microbiome module et régit la réponse à l’immunothérapie.

Susan A McDaniel has transformed sociology in Canada. She has devoted her considerable scholarly energies to rethinking, reconceptualizing and realigning the ways in which social structural constraints impinge on human social life most intimately. She has been a pioneer in studying arenas of human activity: illegal abortion, sexual assault and harassment, childbearing from women's point of view, women's work-related health issues, women's participation in technological innovation. Her most important contribution, however, is in her involved, passionate, and yet sharply analytical frameworks, frameworks which are generating unconsidered research hypotheses.
