Canada鈥檚聽first national system to recognize 鈥渢he聽emerging generation of Canadian intellectual leadership鈥 is getting off to a great start by electing three scholars from the 草莓污视频导航.

Carolyn Emery, Josephine Hill and Nathalie Jette are among the first group of 80 scholars to join the聽. The Royal Society of Canada is launching the organization to help it 鈥渂enefit from the participation of exceptionally talented individuals in the earlier period of their careers.鈥 They鈥檙e named for seven years 鈥 for a total of about 600 people who bring 鈥渄iverse intellectual, cultural and social聽perspectives.鈥

Carolyn Emery, Faculty of Kinesology

鈥淚t鈥檚 an honour to be selected as a member of the inaugural society of new scholars,鈥 says Emery, associate dean research, co-chair of the Sport Injury Prevention Research Centre in the Faculty of Kinesiology, member of the聽Hotchkiss Brain Institute,聽and professor in Pediatric Rehabilitation, Alberta Children鈥檚 Hospital Research Institute, Cumming School of Medicine. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a really unique opportunity because we often travel in circles within our own field and we can always be informed by perspectives from outside our academic arena.聽I look forward to participating in this multidisciplinary environment.鈥

Emery is a physiotherapist, epidemiologist and population health researcher. Her research focuses on injury epidemiology, injury prevention in youth sport and recreation and pediatric rehabilitation.

Josephine Hill, Schulich School of Engineering

鈥淚鈥檓 very pleased and honoured. It鈥檚 very nice recognition of the work that I have done,鈥 says Josephine Hill, professor and Canada Research Chair in Hydrogen and Catalysis in the Schulich School of Engineering.聽鈥淯ndoubtedly, election to the College will open new doors and present fascinating opportunities, and so I am thankful to the university for the support.鈥

Hill鈥檚 research on catalysts 鈥 substances that increase reaction rates 鈥 is helping to increase the energy efficiency of processes using natural resources, thus decreasing impacts on the environment.聽Her world-class research facility develops, characterizes and tests catalysts used in fuel cells, hydrotreating and gasification.

Dr. Nathalie Jette, Cumming School of Medicine

鈥淚t is humbling and an honour to have been selected,鈥 says Dr. Nathalie Jette, associate professor in clinical neurosciences and community health sciences,聽Canada Research Chair in Neurological Health Services Research in the Cumming School of Medicine and member of the Hotchkiss Brain Institute and the Institute for Public Health.

鈥淚 firmly believe that in order to succeed we must work together. I could not have received this honour without the support of those聽who mentored me and worked with me over the years.鈥 聽

Jette鈥檚 research develops and applies methods to detect, measure and manage neurological conditions including epilepsy, migraine, multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer鈥檚 disease and their outcomes.聽Ultimately her research program aims to improve neurological care.
