A decade after Arthur B. McDonald’s Nobel win, Canada’s astroparticle physics community looks ahead to a new era of discovery.
A decade after Arthur B. McDonald earned the Nobel Prize in Physics, Canada’s astroparticle physics community is celebrating how far the field has come, and where it’s headed next.
The anniversary, marked at Queen's University and the Arthur B. McDonald Canadian Astroparticle Physics Research Institute, highlighted how steady federal investment has helped drive discoveries and create opportunities for young scientists. We hear from McDonald himself.
McDonald’s 2015 Nobel Prize recognized groundbreaking research that reshaped understanding of the universe. Since then, Canada has expanded its leadership in the field, supporting major projects and training a new generation of researchers.
Speakers, including McDonald, Dr. Tony Noble, and physics students Zoe Brisson-Tsavoussis and Julia Brachman, shared how research funding and collaboration fuel both scientific progress and human potential. Zoe Brisson-Tsavoussis explains why astrophysics has become such an important part of her life.
Undergrad Julia Brachman also shares more.
Organizers say the milestone reflects a decade of discovery, and a bold vision for the future of Canadian science.
