Jean-François Masson
Professor, University of Montreal, France.
Career highlight: The support of my family is a definite highlight. They travelled over 4,000 kilometers to attend my PhD defense, and my 4-year-old son attends whatever seminars of mine he can.
Eureka moment: I was an elite ice hockey player while growing up in Canada, and had a eureka moment in realizing the similarities between chemistry and hockey. In chemistry, however, you get better with age, rather than worse, and are more likely to make a living off your passion!
