Modern photonics beamed onto the scene with the invention of the laser in 1960, and has continued to make tremendous strides ever since. Today, the spotlight shines bright on two University of Ottawa researchers who have each received a prestigious Optica award for their glowing contributions to the science of light.

Motivated by curiosity and the chance to test their theories in space, gifted science students from a local school joined with the University of Ottawa to answer an important question: Do EpiPens work in space? The answer turned into a ground-breaking discovery.

When Professor Ewurabena Simpson was in medical school, two supervisors commented on the fact that she was quiet. “Do you think it’s because you’re the only woman in the group?” asked one, a man. “Perhaps you should go into a field that’s less stressful,” said the other, a woman. And she remembers thinking, “Why is being quiet a bad thing?”

I had the good fortune of holding the NSERC Chair for Women in Science and Engineering for Ontario for ten years, from 2011 to 2021. The landscape for Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) certainly changed a lot over those ten years and even more in the past few years. As funding agencies and organizations, including academic ones, grapple with n...
