Avocat, médecin et ancien Premier ministre du Québec, Pierre Marc Johnson enseigne présentement le droit de l'environnement et les politiques publiques à l'Université McGill. Il est également professeur au Centre de médecine, d'éthique et de droit, où, avec une équipe de jeunes chercheurs, il se penche en particulier sur les questions de l'incertitude scientifique en analyse des risques et des responsabilités administratives en matière d'environnement. Ses préoccupations et ses recherches ont amené M. Johnson à jouer un rôle de plus en plus important dans certains organismes, telle la Table ronde nationale sur l'environnement et l'économie dont il est le vice-président et le responsable du comité des affaires étrangères. Il a également agi à titre de conseiller spécial du secrétaire général de la Conférence des Nations-Unies sur l'environnement et le développement qui a eu lieu à Rio en 1992. Depuis trois ans, il a prononcé une cinquantaine de conférences au Québec, au Canada et en Europe sur l'environnement et l'éthique. Ses principales allocutions et ses nombreux articles témoignent d'une grande rigueur intellectuelle liée à un souci de rendre la problématique écologique intelligible au plus grand nombre.

A brilliant scholar of international repute, Dr. Johnston's work has revolutionized the study of Early English Drama. An innovative thinker, an assiduous scholar, she has demonstrated leadership in cooperative, interdisciplinary research at the crossroads between social history and dramatic history. The editor of six volumes of meticulous scholarship, director of eleven others, author of numerous studies cited for their high standards of scholarship, Dr. Johnston is most frequently cited as a visionary and a leader in the academic community. Dr. Johnston has changed the direction of research, basing theatre criticism on historical fact and social realities. Since this information was not available, she undertook a massive and entirely successful project. Member of the Order of Canada since 2018

Prof. Jonas is Canada's foremost researcher on the hot deformation of steels. An internationally acknowledged leader in research in this area, he has published over 500 scientific papers, co-authored three books on the topic, and is currently Birks Professor of Metallurgy at McGill. He is a pioneer in the application of mathematical modelling to hot deformation of metals and one of the first to demonstrate that results obtained in the lab could be used in the design of industrial rolling processes. Consequently, most Canadian steel companies and indeed many others around the world use the results of Prof. Jonas' research in the design of their rolling schedules.

Nina Jones is Associate Professor and Canada Research Chair (CRC) in Eukaryotic Cellular Signalling at the University of Guelph. Her research investigates fundamental mechanisms of cell communication, and she has made significant contributions in understanding how such signalling pathways become deregulated in prevalent human pathologies such as kidney disease, cardiovascular disease and cancer. Dr. Jones has received numerous awards throughout her career for her research accomplishments and community involvement.

Four impressive books, over fifty learned papers and numerous incisive reviews have made U.ofT.'s Christopher JONES the outstanding expert on the Roman Empire in its greatest days. Immersed in its literature and skilled in imperial epigraphy, he is a world authority on the interaction of its Greek-speaking and Latin-speaking halves. He has been guest lecturer at many institutions (including Harvard and Paris' prestigious Ecole Normale Supérieure de Jeunes Filles), twice a Fellow of Princeton's Institute for Advanced Studies, and repeatedly adviser to editors of learned periodicals such as "Zeitschrift für Papyrologie und Epigraphik" and "Phoenix".

Russell Jones’ research program is focused on deciphering the molecular programs that regulate cell growth and proliferation and their alteration in cancer. Specifically, his research investigates fundamental molecular processes that integrate cellular energy metabolism with various signal transduction pathways, and how this regulates checkpoints for normal and cancer cells including T-lymphocyte survival, homeostasis and tumorigenesis as well as breast cancer metastatic progression.

Le programme de recherche de Russell Jones est focalisé sur l’étude des programmes moléculaires qui régulent la croissance et la prolifération cellulaires et leur modification dans le cancer. Ses travaux de recherche décortiquent les processus moléculaires fondamentaux qui intègrent le métabolisme cellulaire avec différentes cascades de signalisation. Dr. Jones identifient quels sont les éléments de contrôle des cellules normales et cancéreuses. Il étudie les molécules contribuant à la survie des lymphocytes T, à l’homéostasie, à la tumorigenèse et la progression métastatique du cancer du sein.

Dr. A. Vallance Jones, is now retired from his position as a Principal Research Officer with the National Research Council which he joined in 1968. Previously, he was a Professor of Physics at the University of Saskatchewan. He received his Ph.D. in 1950 from the University of Cambridge, his M.Sc. and B.Sc. in 1946 and 1945 respectively from the University of New Zealand. He is a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. His work has been primarily in the spectroscopy of aurora and airglow and in other studies of aurora by optical methods. He is a past associate editor (Space Science and Aeronomy) of the Canadian Journal of physics and past Chairman of the Aeronomy Division of the International Association of Geomagnetism and Aeronomy. He also served for a number of years as secretary of the NSERC Grant Selection Committee on Space Science and Astronomy. He is the author of over 100 scientific papers and books on aurora borealis.

Jones has made major contributions to a variety of areas of organic and bioorganic chemistry. These comprise the synthesis and conformational analysis of steroids; the mechanism and specificity of the enzymes of steroid metabolism and the effect of micellar aggregation on such metabolism; the mechanism of action of carcinogenic lactones; the structure and function of chymotrypsin; the utilization of enzymes in organic syntheses. It is in this last area that he is currently most active and Jones' pioneering work has made him a world leader in the use of enzymes as chiral catalysts for asymmetric synthesis.

Alexander Jones has established himself as a pre-eminent historian of the exact sciences in antiquity at an unusually young age. He has already produced two large and technically accomplished critical editions of important and significant texts: the seventh book of Pappus of Alexandria, which is a work of geometry, and the astronomical and astrological papyri from 0xyrhynchus. His greatest achievement so far, however, is in the field of intellectual history. Building on the work of Otto Neugebauer, with whom he is commonly compared as a scholar, Jones has demonstrated beyond the possibility of further doubt the profound indebtedness of ancient Greek astronomy of the classical, Hellenistic and Roman periods to Babylonian science, whose methods it inherited and developed.
