    Congratulations to Dr. Donna Strickland, Associate Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at #UWaterloo, is one of three scientists to win this year's Nobel Prize in Physics. She is the first woman to receive this award in 55 years. #NobelPrize #UWaterlooProud

    “I am getting to know Waterloo well and it is clear to me that this place is special." #UWaterloo is saddened by the news that scientist, and forever #WRAwesome friend, Stephen Hawking has passed away. Much like the universe he studied, his work will live on into infinity.
