I want to use my knowledge and my effort to change this world.

Innovative solutions come from freedom to pursue the questions that we need to.

One of the first grants I got was the NSERC Discovery Grant, which allowed us to do some basic research.

Sometimes it's the unexpected discoveries that come along in the midst of all of that that turn out to be really important.

NSERC's Discovery Grant system is not rigid, it's flexible. So when you hit something wonderful, you can pursue it without feeling guilty about not doing exactly what you said you were going to do from the beginning.
