As McGill approached its 200th anniversary, over 50 top researchers each addressed the question: What will be the biggest change or discovery in your field over the next 25 years? Their responses are featured in this one-of-a-kind legacy collection of short videos, which you can access at . During this event, panelists will once again cast their eye into the future, this time to envisage the future of research in a post-COVID world. Don’t miss this fun and forward-looking event!
