Canadians are super smart (we just don’t like to brag about it). Among the numerous scientific minds this country has produced, some, like David Suzuki and Sir Frederick Banting , are household names. Others are lesser known, but deserve equal celebration. For example, Elizabeth MacGill , the first woman electrical engineer to graduate from the University of Toronto , went on to design fighter planes during the Second World War. Nobel laureate Richard Edward Taylor discovered “gluons,” or the pieces of a proton that bind it together. Read on to discover the work of 30 of Canada’s greatest scientists.
