As an internationally-respected leader in the crystallography and crystal chemistry of minerals, Dr. Hawthorne has utilized the most advanced physical and chemical analytical methods to characterize the detailed structure of an extreme variety of natural inorganic compounds. By the application of sophisticated mathematical techniques, he has been able to unify the crystal-chemical relationships between nearly all types of non-metallic minerals, and to provide a structurally sound basis for classifying all such minerals. This unified chemical-structural approach has enabled him to lay a fundamental groundwork for interpreting the paragenesis of the minerals in some of the earth's most important rock masses and ore deposits.

HAY, Douglas – Osgoode Hall Law School, York University Douglas Hay has made a unique contribution both to the legal historiography of England and its former colonies and, more broadly, to interdisciplinary socio-legal scholarship in Canada. He combines a comprehensive approach to source materials with innovative methodology and a broad understanding of law’s relationship to society. A prolific scholar, enthusiastic collaborator and generous mentor, he has influenced countless colleagues, students and professional peers in both law and history.

Douglas Hay a apporté une contribution unique à l’historiographie juridique de l’Angleterre et de ses colonies ainsi qu’aux études socio-légales interdisciplinaires. Son œuvre repose sur une investigation exhaustive des sources mariée à une méthodologie novatrice. Elle démontre une compréhension approfondie des relations entre le droit et la société. Chercheur prolifique, collaborateur enthousiaste et généreux mentor, il a su influencer d’innombrables collègues, étudiants et pairs professionnels tant en droit qu’en histoire.

Long Citation Brian Hayden has developed and tested hypotheses to explain how complex human social organization emerged in egalitarian societies. He argues that ambitious individuals create multiple strategies to acquire prestige and social power, notably through manipulation of surpluses and possession of arcane knowledge, and that these ambitions transform societies. His fieldwork throughout the world provides an empirical basis for hypotheses that explore the origins of agriculture, the function of religion, and the emergence of social inequality. Controversial and influential, his work has been widely published.

Long Citation Dr. R. Brian Haynes is the world leader in medical information research and knowledge translation as a means to improve clinical and health care through improving the retrieval, distillation, synthesis, dissemination and application of validated health care knowledge. He was the first person ever to systematically research a worldwide array of clinical medical journal articles on diagnosis, prognosis, therapeutics, economics, and quality-of-care, establishing that less than 1% of them were both scientifically valid and clinically applicable. He then led the worldwide scientific effort to correct this deficiency by creating a health knowledge refinery and leading the scientific development of both evidence-based journals and internet information services.

Joseph Heath is an international leader in political philosophy and the theory of rationality, as well as one of Canada's leading public intellectuals. He has made fundamental contributions in two areas: to the understanding of the relations between rationality, morality, and culture, and to the foundations of business ethics.

Joseph Heath a acquis une réputation internationale dans le domaine de la philosophie politique et de la théorie sur la rationalité. Il est aussi l’un des intellectuels les plus en vue au Canada. Les deux volets de ses recherches fondamentales sont, d’une part, la compréhension des liens existant entre la rationalité, la moralité et la culture et, d’autre part, les fondements de l’éthique des affaires.

MICHELE CHRISTINE HEATH, Professor, Department of Botany, University of Toronto. Dr. Heath's cytological studies on rust fungi have not only contributed significantly to the understanding of how these obligate plant pathogens interact at a cellular level with their hosts and nonhosts, but also have allowed her to develop more widely applicable models of the basis and evolution of host parasite specificity. In addition, she was the first to develop a technique to induce rust haustoria away from the living plant, and to discover, in a rust fungus, a cultivar-specific elicitor of defense responses that may be of major importance in determining host specificity.

Dr. Ajay Heble is an internationally renowned scholar, a visionary arts leader, and an innovative community builder whose remarkable achievements demonstrate the power of art to change lives and to improve communities. Dr. Heble led development of a ground- breaking new field of interdisciplinary research and scholarly inquiry: critical studies in improvisation. He is the founding director of the International Institute for Critical Studies in Improvisation (IICSI), a partnered research institute.

Ajay Heble est un chercheur de renommée internationale, un chef de file visionnaire dans le domaine des arts et un bâtisseur communautaire innovant dont les réalisations remarquables démontrent le pouvoir de l’art sur le changement de vie et sur l’amélioration des communautés. Prof. Heble a dirigé le développement d’un nouveau domaine révolutionnaire de recherche interdisciplinaire et d’enquête scientifique : les études critiques sur l’improvisation. Il est le directeur fondateur de l’International Institute for Critical Studies in Improvisation (IICSI), un institut de recherche travaillant avec des partenariats.

HECKY, Robert E. - Biology Department, University of Waterloo Long Citation (for publication and press release) Robert Hecky is world-renowned for his work on African great lakes and northern reservoirs. For over thirty years, he has led international groups investigating the hydrology, chemistry, biology and paleoecology of these ecosystems, including the effects of land-use change, nutrient dynamics, alien species, human population growth, climate change and mercury pollution. His research has led to the development of an excellent research laboratory in Uganda, and to the understanding of how climate, land-use and air quality have affected the great lakes of east Africa. His comparative studies have also greatly increased our understanding of the environmental impacts of northern reservoirs.

Hekimi, Siegfried - Molecular Biology and Genetic - McGill University Siegfried Hekimi has advanced our understanding of the causes of animal aging, in particular by discovering and studying long-lived mutants and using them to test theories of aging. For example, his work suggests that free radicals might not be the cause of aging, in contrast to what was previously widely believed. ------------------ Hekimi, Siegfried - Molecular Biology and Genetics - McGill University Siegfried Hekimi’s work has advanced our understanding of the mechanisms that dictate animal longevity. He has contributed significantly in pioneering and validating the genetic approach to the study of aging using nematodes and mice. Specifically, his work has demonstrated that: 1) There are evolutionarily conserved genes whose function limits lifespan, 2) Such aging genes can be grouped into independent genetic pathways, 3) There is a positive causal relationship between mitochondrial electron transport and aging. 4) Molecular damage from mitochondrial reactive oxygen species is not the link between mitochondrial function and aging.
