Using our heads to do great things
Ontario has an illustrious history of scientific
discovery, dating back to the shining days of Nobel
laureate, Frederick Banting. It is a spirit we are
proud to say is still very much alive in our
province.
Welcome to Using Our Heads, a
celebration of Ontario innovation that was supported by
the Ontario
Innovation Trust (OIT). It is an initiative that
was undertaken to promote the vital scientific research
being conducted in all corners of our province.
Research that is having a positive impact not only on
our economy, but also on our way of life.
Using Our Heads is a
collection of twenty-two Feature Stories covering such
diverse topics as quantum computing, cancer treatments,
structural genomics and the bar code of life. It
includes ten captivating Q & A sessions with some of
Canada's leading names in science and business, from
RIM co-founder Mike Lazaridis to John Evans, Chairman
of the MaRS Discovery District. Plus, there are
important Did
You Know? facts and figures that illustrate the
importance of research funding in our province.
You can visit our Innovation Links for the latest information
on research funding and awards, science education
initiatives, health awareness programs and other
important topics that pertain to innovation.
Simply head to whatever interests you. And perhaps,
take the opportunity to Order Our Book featuring illustrations by
twenty-three noted artists.
