Patrick Grant's written work reflects his broad interest in relationships between literature, theology, and the history of science. The English Renaissance is his primary field, and he has written major studies of devotional poetry, the connections between images and ideas, and the influence of scientific method on literature. His work in other periods demonstrates a deep understanding of religious thought in the West. Major studies include the problem of belief in twentieth-century literature, the tradition of Western mysticism, and the New Testament. More recently he has entered the lively debate about literary theory in terms of broad cultural issues, and has published a trilogy of books centered on the idea of the person. His current work is on the recent literature and culture of his native Northern Ireland.

LONG Professor Martin Grant of McGill’s Department of Physics has been at the forefront of one of the revolutions in modern science, namely dealing with the question of “Where do complex structures come from and how can their formation be understood?” His research includes the development and use of the most advanced theoretical methods and computer based models to simulate the complex properties of liquids and solids in non-equilibrium states, i.e. far from their normal operating conditions. Some of the complex systems he has studied include flame fronts, crystallizing eutectics, and self-lubricating polymer melts. Indeed, his investigations cover a broad range of topics in condensed matter physics also including studies of first order phase transitions, crystal growth, disordered systems, spin glasses, charge density waves, wave scattering in random media and, more recently, an analysis of atomic scale friction. Surprisingly enough, his research shows that many of the properties of these disparate systems can be understood using the common language of scale invariance. All his work is done in close contact with experimentalists, and McGill has become a world leader in this area through his efforts.

LONG Peter Grant is recognized for his contributions to our understanding of natural selection and the origin of species. His long-term research of Darwin's finches on Galápagos islands is the most successful ever field study of evolution. He has demonstrated that natural selection occurs frequently, that evolution may be extremely rapid, that competition drives divergence of species, and that new species originate by natural selection on traits and random drift of mating signals. Through his own publications and books, and through prize-winning books and documentaries about his work, he has influenced a generation of biologists and aided public understanding of evolution.

Prof. G.A. Gratzer is recognized as one of the top six workers in the field of Universal algebra and lattice theory. Amongst his ninety research papers there are a number which have solved outstanding problems. Besides his research work, he is a recognized expositor, having published three books which have been well received everywhere. Since coming to Canada, he has integrated himself with the Canadian mathematical community - a fact which is attested to by invitations to give invited lectures at ten Canadian universities. He was awarded the Stacey Prize in 1972.

MICHAEL W. GRAY is the world leader in several areas of molecular and evolutionary biology. He provided the best and earliest proof that mitochondria, respiratory organelles of higher cells, are highly degenerate bacteria. He has discovered a world of molecular diversity in the chromosomes of mitochondria, demonstrating that genes can be thoroughly scrambled and still function, and that in some cases the genetic message must be edited to make sense. He has also made seminal contributions to our understanding of the structure and function of informational RNAs, and enriched our understanding of the evolution of complexity at the molecular level.
