The 2023 winner of the Beaumier Award for High School/CÉGEP Chemistry Teachers is:
Yann Brouillette
Dawson College
Dr. Yann Brouillette obtained his masters (M. Sc.) in organic chemistry from Université de Montréal (Quebec) in 2005 and his doctorate (Ph. D.) in organic chemistry from Université de Montpellier (France) in 2008. A chemistry professor at Dawson College in Montreal (Quebec) since 2009, Yann has been a devoted member of the Active Learning Community, serves as the Quebec regional director of the College Chemistry Canada association, and collaborated on the development of multiple free online pedagogical tools. As the creator and host of the YouTube channel “Chem Curious”, Yann is always looking for new ways to engage students in the learning of science. In January 2014, he created the new complementary course for non-science students entitled “Comic Book Chemistry” where he uses situations depicted in graphic novels to explain basic chemistry. Teaching during the day, and writing at night, he enjoys guess-lecturing and co-writing pop culture chemistry articles. Overall, Yann Brouillette is not a mad scientist, he’s always a happy chemist
