Mark Carney: "We do not seek power to dominate others. On the contrary, we are pursuing resilience so no one, no one can control our open markets, impair our sovereignty, threaten our territorial integrity, or undermine our freedoms, our democracies, our rule of law." #cdnpoli

Molecular biologist & geneticist Susan Lindquist (b. #OTD in 1949) was a pioneer in studying protein folding. Her research demonstrated protein folding errors contribute heavily to neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer's & Parkinson's diseases. National Medal of Science in 2010. #WomenInSTEM
This colorful portrait captures pioneering American molecular biologist and geneticist Dr. Susan Lindquist (June 5, 1949 – October 27, 2016), a National Medal of Science recipient who revolutionized our understanding of protein folding, prions, and heat-shock proteins. Facing the camera with a warm, confident smile, her short brown hair frames an engaging, intellectual expression. She wears a structured, dark green textured blazer over a striking, light blue silk scarf patterned with vibrant illustrations of sliced limes, lemons, oranges, and cherries, accented by elegant gold hoop earrings.She stands directly in front of a white dry-erase board covered in hand-drawn, multicolored biochemical pathways and pathways tracking "sterol biosynthesis," "Erg3," "Ergosterol," and "Mutations Azoles" from her famous research into evolutionary adaptations and antifungal resistance using yeast models. The tight composition and bright ambient lighting emphasize a deeply intellectual, creative, and historic mood, celebrating one of the most influential scientific minds of the modern era.
