William Shea established his international reputation by his book on "Galileo's Intellectual Revolution", translated into several languages and followed by a series of essays on various aspects of Galileo's activities. He is universally recognized as one of the leading authorities on the subject. Numerous studies on Descartes and his contemporaries as well as on Kant and Hegel, on the history of nuclear physics and on modern science show the wide range of his work. He is one of the few historians of science who is equally at home in the philosophy of science. His election as Secretary-General of the International Union of History and Philosophy of Science and President of the International Academy of the History of Science bears witness to the esteem in which he is held by scholars everywhere.

Long Citation Theodore Shepherd is the leading Canadian atmospheric dynamicist of his generation. His contributions, based upon sophisticated analyses of the interactions between atmospheric waves and the stratospheric circulation, have led to seminal insights. Through his creative scientific leadership of the Canadian Middle Atmospheric Model (CMAM) collaboration, and contributions to the international stratosphere-related SPARC programme and the most recent UNEP/WMO Ozone Assessments, he has brought great credit to the Canadian community. His recent service as Chief Editor of the Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences, the leading journal in the field internationally, is further confirmation of his high stature.

Since 1953, Professor Gordon Shepherd has made outstanding contributions to our understanding of the physics of the magnetosphere and of the aurora. He has been a recognized leader in Canadian magnetospheric research for some years. He has developed and used ingenious optical instruments for ground, rocket and satellite observations of magnetospheric phenomena in Canada, Europe and elsewhere, as an individual, and as a member of a number of international research groups. He is continually invited to address international symposia on magnetospheric physics. He has published nearly 90 papers and supervised the research of 17 M.Sc., and 13 Ph.D students at the University of Saskatchewan and York University. In a very strong competition, he was recently designated by NASA as Principal Investigator of the Wide Angle Imaging Michelson Interferometer experiment to be built in Canada and flown on a forthcoming flight of SPACELAB/SHUTTLE.

Communicatrice convaincante et engagée dans la mobilisation de la recherche, elle enrichit les débats sociétaux importants avec des connaissances en sciences sociales.

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.

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.
