Fifty portraits for 100 years of science. For the centenary of Acfas, this work richly illustrates the lives and careers of researchers who have had the greatest impact on Quebec science.
We remember that the pediatrician Irma Levasseur had to go into exile in the United States to study medicine in 1919, that Marie-Claire Daveluy was the first woman admitted, in 1917, to the Société historique de Montréal, or that the economist Esdras Minville, son of a Gaspé fisherman who worked with Maurice Duplessis, is at the origin of logging cooperatives.
The book highlights, among other things, the work of the pioneers of science in Quebec, who had to confront the sexism of society.
The 90e Acfas congress is being held until May 12 in Montreal.
