Long Citation Stan Boutin's studies on red squirrels at Kluane, Yukon provided the first evidence of evolution of a natural population in response to climate change, and the first basis to understand the impact of the mother's environment on evolutionary change. His pioneering studies on the lynx-snowshoe hare cycles at Kluane have shown that food supply and predation have multiplicative effects on populations. Through collaboration with the forestry industry, Boutin has pioneered a new paradigm in forestry management, based on the guiding principles of natural disturbance and succession. Dr. Stan Boutin is the world leader on the ecology of Canada's northern forests. Short Citation Stan Boutin is the world leader on the ecology of Canada's northern forests.

Dawn Bowdish studies how the immune system changes with age and how these changes impact healthy/ unhealthy aging and susceptibility to infections. She and her team work to uncover how the aging immune system and the microbes that live in and on us (“the microbiota”) interact in order to prevent infections and give older adults more years of healthy, independent living. She is the Canada Research Chair in Aging and Immunity.

Dawn Bowdish étudie les changements subis par le système immunitaire au cours du processus de vieillissement, et les impacts que ces changements ont sur la santé d’une personne vieillissante et leur risque d’infection. Avec l’aide de son équipe, elle tente de découvrir l’interaction entre le système immunitaire vieillissant et les microorganismes qui vivent à l’intérieur ainsi qu’à l’extérieur de nos corps (« le microbiote ») afin de prévenir les infections et de permettre à la population plus âgée de vivre plus longtemps en bonne santé et de façon indépendante. Elle est titulaire de la Chaire de recherche du Canada sur le vieillissement et l’immunité.

In the rapidly evolving field of translation technologies, Lynne Bowker has consistently shaped the global research agenda by introducing innovative approaches to studying these technologies within and beyond translator education. The transformative influence of her ground-breaking work on technology use by linguistic minorities extends outside academia and Canada to international social and political spheres, where it has engendered a critical rethinking of how language technologies are meaningfully integrated into society.

Lynne Bowker, dans le domaine en rapide évolution des technologies de la traduction, a constamment façonné le programme de recherche mondial en introduisant des approches innovantes pour étudier ces technologies dans le cadre de la formation des traducteurs et au-delà. L’influence transformatrice de ses travaux révolutionnaires sur l’utilisation des technologies par les minorités linguistiques s’étend au-delà du monde universitaire et du Canada, pour se retrouver dans les sphères sociales et politiques internationales, où elle a permis une réflexion critique sur la manière dont les technologies linguistiques étaient intégrées dans la société.

Elle mène également des initiatives internationales visant à faire progresser la coopération mondiale et le partage de données sur les maladies rares.

BOYD, Susan B. - Faculty of Law, The University of British Columbia Susan Boyd is internationally recognized as a leading socio-legal scholar who has made exceptional contributions to family law and feminist legal studies. She publishes prolifically on issues of fundamental importance to our times, such as the changing definitions of “family”, “spouse”, and “parent”. Her scholarship questions the precise role of law in fields such as child custody by situating law within its larger socio-economic and ideological contexts.

BOYD, Susan B. - Faculté de droit, The University of British Columbia Les contributions de Susan Boyd au droit de la famille et aux études juridiques féministes en ont fait l’une des chercheuses les plus réputées du domaine sociojuridique. Auteur prolifique, ses publications traitent de sujets d’importance fondamentale pour notre époque, tels que les nouvelles définitions de la famille, d’époux et de parent. Ses travaux académiques s’interrogent sur le rôle précis du droit dans des domaines comme la garde des enfants, en le replaçant dans un contexte socioéconomique et idéologique élargi.

Monica Boyd, Professor of Sociology at Carleton University, is at the forefront of scholarly work that analyzes such demographic processes as rates of natural increase and decrease and migration. She traces their impacts on many features of Canadian society such as the labour force, family forms, age and gender patterns. She also contributes important data and analyses on social mobility and status attainment. Her publications on these and other topics are widely cited in the academic as well as in the policy literature in Canada and internationally. Her research and other activities contribute to the setting of the research as well as the policy agenda.

Dr. Branton is world renowned for his demonstration of protein kinases and proteins ultimately identified as family members of the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor family associated with viral oncogene products. Dr. Branton's unique contribution was to prove that the mechanism of oncogenic transformation was dependent on the association of these proteins with the viral oncogene products well before the characterization of these associated proteins was known. His most recent work on apoptosis has led to new mechanisms and novel therapies for cancer.
