Toronto News: The anti-Steve Jobs: Why innovation pioneer John Evans donated millions to MaRS. The dean of McMaster University’s not-yet-built medical school was hiring faculty.
He was impressed after a visit from a young nephrologist from Buffalo. So Dr. John Evans wrote the doctor and invited him back to Hamilton. “On this visit, perhaps you can bring your spouse with you,” Dr. Sackett and his wife, Barbara, walked together into Evans’ tidy office on a cool day in September 1967. “And he said, ‘No, I’d like to talk with Barbara.’ Profile blurbs often describe Evans — founding dean of McMaster’s medical school, a founding father of Canadian biotechnology, and co-founder of the MaRS Discovery District — as a Canadian innovator. But he’s more properly a cheerleader for a very Canadian style of innovation. Evans is the anti-Steve Jobs: he has spent his life promoting inclusive collaboration over the solo, competitive genius. Soon, the Evans philosophy will be put to the test at the corner of College and University. Evans was born in Toronto in 1929, the youngest of six children. Toronto News: Family awarded $8.5 million after botched birth.
The Ontario Court of Appeal has upheld a lower court’s decision to award about $8.5 million to an Israeli family after a Toronto hospital botched the birth of their daughter, leaving her with severe brain damage. On Jan. 10, 1984, Atalia Gutbir went into labour and was admitted to Toronto General Hospital around 8 a.m. After what was supposed to be a routine birth, her daughter, Zmora, arrived silent and blue, saddled with permanent brain damage. A jury, and now the Court of Appeal in a decision released Thursday, found it should have been different. Zmora, 28, has cerebral palsy and needs constant care. “What would happen to her when we stop living?” The Gutbirs knew something went wrong on that winter day in 1984, but didn’t realize at the time they had recourse. In 2001, the Gutbirs retained the firm Sommers & Roth and sued the University Health Network, which runs the General, in a case that would last more than 11 years.
When Zmora was born, “a sense of panic set into the room.” M.I.T. Physicist Gives Scientists an Online Interview Outlet.
