Aljoscha Michel Ziegler
I am very honoured to be a Schulich Leader. I would not be one without the help of so many different people. If there is one lesson I have learnt from them, it is that helping others is part of human nature. We live in a society where technological progress is abundant. We have escaped Earth and reached the moon, but increasingly we shut ourselves away from others. Yet our technological innovations should be bringing us together, not pulling us apart. I believe that more than ever, there is a need to tie scientific and technological innovation with unity. To me this award is not just about recognition, it’s about the responsibility and freedom it gives me to continue my research and social impact projects.
