<div style="font-size:12pt">It's an honour well beyond my expectations, and kinda humbling. But I think it is also a recognition from ASTR of the work that goes on in Canada more broadly. I believe I'm the third Canadian (after Tracy Davis and Susan Bennett--good
company to be in!) to have won the award. And this is in large part because of the support I've had throughout my career from CATR and all my Canadian colleagues and friends.</div>
