We will get one new discovery for every $1.8 million of research.

This generous gift will support research of a kind that reflects the core values of our University- innovative discovery crossing disciplinary boundaries and unmasking ideas of sufficient size and quality to create new paradigms of thought. Work in the Ellen and Melvin Gordon Center for Integrative Science will produce unexpected discoveries that will enrich our understanding of both the biological and the physical sciences, but, most importantly, revolutionize how we think about the space in between and what this means to the citizens of our nation.

With the abundance of stellar scientists and research and clinical activities in and around the MaRS Discovery District and the fact that our Chief Scientific Officer and Vice President, Dr. Mansoor Mohammed, is a Canadian citizen, it was an easy and obvious choice for our expansion into the Canadian arena. Moving forward we anticipate establishing strong relationships with Canadian customers, partners and the government.

The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds the most discoveries, is not 'Eureka!' (I found it!) but 'That's funny'

Most investigators conducting research make that determination themselves.

Past research has shown that when you are open about your stuttering to your employer, you are far more comfortable in your workplace. If you hide your stuttering, you not only put yourself under tremendous pressure, but also limit your effectiveness on the job.
