R\u00e9mi Quirion : entretiens<\/em><\/a> (2026), un ouvrage relatant le parcours scientifique du premier scientifique en chef du Qu\u00e9bec. Le livre se subdivise essentiellement en deux parties : la premi\u00e8re traite de la formation d\u2019un homme de science (quatre chapitres) et la seconde du r\u00f4le de scientifique en chef du Qu\u00e9bec (six chapitres).<\/p>\nC\u2019est \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9t\u00e9 2011 que ce nouveau poste fut cr\u00e9\u00e9 au sein de la haute fonction publique. R\u00e9mi Quirion devenait ainsi le premier titulaire de cette prestigieuse fonction consistant \u00e0 \u00e9mettre des avis scientifiques destin\u00e9s aux \u00e9lus, \u00e0 intervenir publiquement sur toute question touchant la science et \u00e0 diriger le tr\u00e8s important Fonds de recherche du Qu\u00e9bec.<\/p>\n
La candidature de R\u00e9mi Quirion a rapidement \u00e9t\u00e9 plac\u00e9e sur le \u00ab dessus de la pile \u00bb. \u00c0 titre de directeur du Centre de recherche de l\u2019Institut Douglas, il \u00e9tait d\u00e9j\u00e0 reconnu parmi les chercheurs en neurosciences les plus cit\u00e9s au monde pour ses travaux sur la maladie d\u2019Alzheimer. Un scientifique de haut calibre, mais sans exp\u00e9rience pr\u00e9alable dans les affaires publiques.<\/p>\n
L\u2019ouvrage d\u00e9coule d\u2019entretiens men\u00e9s par Claude Corbo, ex-recteur de l\u2019Universit\u00e9 du Qu\u00e9bec \u00e0 Montr\u00e9al, au cours desquels R\u00e9mi Quirion relate les relations n\u00e9cessairement complexes entre pouvoir et savoir. De 2011 \u00e0 tout r\u00e9cemment, les \u00e9v\u00e9nements et les dossiers de toutes sortes ont occup\u00e9 son esprit et son agenda : la pand\u00e9mie, les d\u00e9bats entourant les politiques d\u2019\u00e9galit\u00e9, de diversit\u00e9 et d\u2019inclusion \u00e0 l\u2019universit\u00e9, la libert\u00e9 acad\u00e9mique, les sciences citoyennes ainsi que les attaques contre la science men\u00e9es par certaines forces conservatrices et fondamentalistes.<\/p>\n
Dans ces entretiens captivants, R\u00e9mi Quirion raconte \u00e9galement les efforts qu\u2019il a d\u00e9ploy\u00e9s sur la sc\u00e8ne internationale pour faire rayonner les scientifiques qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois et r\u00e9affirmer la place de la langue fran\u00e7aise dans les sciences, un enjeu qui me tient particuli\u00e8rement \u00e0 c\u0153ur. Le livre retrace ainsi le parcours exceptionnel d\u2019un scientifique qui n\u2019a jamais h\u00e9sit\u00e9 \u00e0 sortir de sa zone de confort.<\/p>\n
Une lecture inspirante qui m\u00e9rite d\u2019\u00eatre d\u00e9couverte et partag\u00e9e au sein de notre communaut\u00e9 universitaire, particuli\u00e8rement en cette p\u00e9riode de mi-session o\u00f9 la pers\u00e9v\u00e9rance, la curiosit\u00e9 et la r\u00e9flexion sont plus que jamais mises \u00e0 contribution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
