For this U of T medicine alumnus, a chance to meet his Nobel laureate heroes
For Kevin Wang, the idea of meeting some of his scientific heroes (and Nobel laureates) had been a dream – until this summer.
The recent University of Toronto MD/PhD graduate was among the first five Canadian scientists to be nominated to attend the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting. The annual event brings together about 40 Nobel laureates and 600 undergraduate students, PhD candidates and post-doctoral researchers from 84 countries around the world. The idea is to foster dialogue and share knowledge and ideas across generations, cultures and disciplines.
U of T graduate students experience life on the farm for pastoral literature course
This summer, Professor Andrea Most’s American Pastoral course taught students what it’s like to work in the field – literally.

In a world facing dire environmental challenges, the course examined the relevance of the pastoral mode today.
