Jack Gauldie has made significant contributions in biomedical science. He was the first to isolate, characterize and identify the molecule responsible for the acute phase inflammatory response; Interleukin 6. This discovery linked the inflammatory response to injury with the immune response and led him to an ongoing exploration of the nature of inflammation in the lung, and the role of other signalling molecules known as cytokines in these and other disease processes.

Professor D.J.W. Geldart is one of the world's leading many body theorists,. In a classic paper he and S.H. Vosko showed that dynamic correlations between electrons lead to an enhancement of electrical conductivity. With R. Taylor he showed that in the interacting electron gas the dielectric function has a peak at the Fermi momentum. Geldart and M. Rasolt have done pioneering work on the properties of the nonuniform electron gas in which the physical meaning of exchange and correlation functionals is clarified. Malmstrom and Geldart measured the specific heat critical exponent of dysprosium to show that this antiferromagnetic has spin space dimensionality four - a very unusual situation.

Le nom de Jean-Denis Gendron est indissolublement lié à plusieurs aspects des études et des recherches en linguistique au Québec et au Canada et dans tous les pays de langue française. Sa spécialisation en phonétique du français canadien est illustrée par de nombreuses publications d'ouvrages et d'articles dont la valeur scientifique est reconnue par les chercheurs dans ce domaine. Nommé par le gouvernement du Québec à la tête d'une commission qui porte son nom, il a publié le « Rapport de la Commission d'enquête sur la situation de la langue française et les droits linguistiques au Québec », auquel tous les spécialistes se réfèrent dans leurs travaux. Le remarquable équilibre de ses qualités professionnelles et administratives explique le nombre et l'importance des postes qu'il a occupés et remplis avec une efficacité exceptionnelle : vice-président de la Régie de la langue française au Québec (1974-1977) et président du Consell de la langue française du Québec (1977-1979). Jusqu'en 1990, il a dirigé le Centre international de recherche sur le bilinguisme à l'Université Laval, où il coordonne de nombreuses et importantes recherches en socio-linguistique.

Carole Gerson has become the single most important scholarly voice in the recovery of the history of early Canadian women writers which has been undertaken in the past fifteen years. She has written on the history of taste, on institutions, individual writers, and the establishing of canons; she has also edited significant anthologies and created important repositories of electronic information for scholars and students in the field. Her continuing research is informed by contemporary literary questions that have radically altered our understanding of the beginnings and development of Canadian literature. Her current work enters the lively debate on popular authors and contemporary culture.

LONG Meric Gertler is an internationally known scholar who has made original contributions in the fields of capital markets and regional development, flexible production, the innovation process in manufacturing, the spatial clustering of firms, and the geographical foundations of the new economy. His path-setting research in these fields has helped set the research agenda in economic geography, and in such associated disciplines as urban planning and economics, for over two decades. His latest work, summarized in a forthcoming book on the culture of manufacturing, examines the social norms and institutions that form part of the learning process underpinning changes in the production process and in the ability of firms to adopt new technological innovations. This conceptualization will likely set the research agenda for another decade or more.
