Professor Ted Sargent (ECE), Vice-Dean, Research, was recently awarded the 2012 Steacie Prize, an honour given each year to one person 40 years of age or less who has made notable contributions to research in Canada. And he’s not the first in his family to win the prestigious award – his wife Shana Kelley, a professor in U of T Pharmacy, won it just last year.

On December 15, both Professors Sargent and Kelley spoke to Mary Ito of CBC Radio’s Fresh Air about the synchronicity of it all. Listen to the interview here .
