Stars Shine Bright at OCRI Life Sciences Achievement Awards
Winners (left to right): Dr. Andy Adler; Dr. May Griffith; Dr. Syed Sattar; Dr. Claire-Jehanne Dubouloz and Dr. Francisco Diaz-Mitoma.
On Monday, September 24th, members of Ottawa’s Life Sciences community came together to celebrate the achievements of five outstanding award winners. I am always reminded of why we do this event, when I see the joy and the thanks on the winners faces.
The night was a resounding success which finished with inspiring words from Dr. Sattar. Dr. Sattars colleagues are always commenting on the fact that though he is retired, he works harder than ever. To this he responds with words from poet Edna St. Vincent Millay “My candle burns at both ends; It will not last the night; But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends – It gives a lovely light!”
I am hoping that many people will take Dr. Sattar’s inspiring words and continue to strive to be a light in our community. For more information about the award winners visit www.ocri.ca/achievement.
