Canadians who innovate : the trailblazers and ideas that are changing the world / by O'Reilly Runte, Roseann,author.;

"From saving lives to saving harvests, From discovering ancient diamonds to identifying the first exo-planet, From driverless cars to quantum computers, From Nobel laureates to your next-door neighbor, This book offers uplifting stories of innovative Canadians. Canadians Who Innovate includes two Nobel laureates, an astronaut, extraordinary business leaders, the godfathers of artificial intelligence, and top quantum experts, including the inventor of what may be the next quantum computer. It features profiles of the first director of engineering at Google, who is now working on nuclear fusion; a medical researcher who communicates on TikTok about the efficacy and potential for RNA vaccine technology; and a PhD in nuclear physics who has twice won the Scotiabank Giller Prize. Meet the linguist who works with Indigenous people to make online dictionaries, an internationally consulted specialist on migration, an agri-tech investor, a world specialist on permafrost, and the expert in systems and number theory who has a way to fix health care. And don't forget the engineer who grew human cells on apples, a feat that is leading to the creation of replacement organs that do not require donor -- not to be confused with the aerospace technology developer who created a tethering system to clean up space debris and a 3-D printer that prints biological tissue. Featuring brilliant thinkers from coast to coast to coast, and others from around the world who now call Canada home, Canadians Who Innovate paints a promising picture of a cleaner, healthier, more innovative future for us all."--

1st case / by Patterson, James,1947-author.; Tebbetts, Christopher,author.;

Angela's graduate school days at MIT come to an abrupt end when she uses her hacking skills on another student's computer. Yet her mentor, Eve Abajian, arranges a new beginning for her--as an intern in FBI's Boston field office. Her new supervisor, Assistant Special Agent in Charge William Keats--one of only two agents in the Northeast to make his rank before the age of thirty--sees in Angela a fellow prodigy. But Angela's skills come with a natural curiosity, which is also a dangerous liability. With little training, Angela is quickly plunged into a tough case: tracking murderous brothers who go by the Poet and the Engineer. When Keats tells her to "watch and listen," Angela's mind kicks into overdrive. The obsessive thinking that earned her As on campus can prove fatal in the field.
