IDEAS hears from Engineering winner Clement Gosselin, who has developed an innovative robotic arm. Natural Sciences laureate Sylvain Moineau is making breakthroughs using basic science research, and Medical Sciences winner Gerard Wright fights the growing global threat posed by antibiotic resistance.
