New constellation of academic stars headed to U of T

In a “big win for Canada,” the University of Toronto is further strengthening its academic ranks with three top researchers from U.S. universities whose work ranges from the search for new planets to the economics of powering our own. The acclaimed new faculty members are astrophysicist and U of T alum Sara Seager, innovation and energy economics scholar Jacquelyn Pless and economics expert Mark Duggan, who will head the Munk School of Global Affairs & Public Policy.
