About Reading Abbott
Maude Abbott loved to read. This exhibition explores both what she read and ways we can read her life story. While many publications on the famous doctor have focused on the barriers she faced in a male-dominated profession, this exhibition places Abbott among her favourite authors, texts, and locations. At its heart are Abbott’s five diaries. These precious journals record her daily activities, meetings, travels, meals, health, friends, books, and even her hair appointments.
The Margaret A. Gilliam Institute for Global Food Security, the McGill School of Population and Global Health, and the McGill Centre for the Convergence of Health and Economics invite you to celebrate the International Day for Women and Girls in Science 2025 with a keynote lecture titled: Transforming Global Food Systems through Diversification, Innovation and Gender Inclusion by Dr. Ismahane Elouafi, Executive Managing Director of the CGIAR (formerly the Consultative Group for International Agricultural Research). A cocktail will follow the presentation.
The Neuro's Olszewski Lecture, established in 1986, honours Dr. Jerzy Olszewski (1913–1964), a pioneering neuroanatomist and neuropathologist. Invited to The Neuro by Dr. Wilder Penfield in 1948, Olszewski collaborated on the seminal Cytoarchitecture of the Human Brain Stem, advancing the understanding of brainstem structures and cementing his legacy in neuroscience.
