Economics assistant professor Ben Lester has been named one of five John Charles Polanyi Prize winners for 2010.
 
These prizes were first awarded by the Ontario government in 1987, in honour of the achievement of Dr. John Charles Polanyi who received the 1986 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. The Polanyi Prize recognizes the excellence and potential of Lester’s research in Economics.   
 
The prize, valued at $20,000, is awarded to five outstanding researchers in the early stages of their career and who are continuing post-doctoral studies at an Ontario university. 
 
An awards ceremony will be held in Toronto in November.
