Today, the Royal Society of Canada (RSC) announced 89 new Fellows and 51 new Members of the College of New Scholars, Artists and Scientists. Among the 2021 RSC cohort are ten 91社区 researchers, including seven RSC Fellows and three Members, who will be inducted at the RSC Celebration of Excellence and Engagement, hosted by 91社区 on Friday, November 19, 2021. The new 91社区 cohort will join 228 91社区 researchers who are currently RSC Fellows and Members of the College.
The RSC class of 2021 includes 10 of 91社区鈥檚 most accomplished researchers and scholars whose research projects are diverse, from studies of French literary history in the 17th and 18th centuries (Fr茅d茅ric Charbonneau, Arts), to working with the听Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration听team to capture the first-ever photograph of a supermassive black hole (, Science). Honourees are also studying the biological causes of mental illnesses to improve prevention and treatments (, Medicine and Health Sciences), and the reciprocal interactions between ecological and evolutionary processes (Rowan Barrett, Science), among other fascinating topics.
