Scientist made Knight of the Sphere7/16/3132
INN - Interstellar News Network
GENEVA, TERRA—Noted scientist Pierre Cormier was granted honorary knighthood
yesterday by Exarch Damien Redburn. The ceremony on Terra honored Sir Cormier
for his lifetime of scientific achievement in the fields of neurology and cryogenics.
The foundation of much of Sir Cormier’s work was laid during his graduate days. At
a relatively young age, Cormier isolated areas of the brain that responded poorly to
cryonic treatment. He spent several years synthesizing inhibitors and chemical
treatments to protect sensitive areas of the brain during cold sleep. For the last few
years, Sir Cormier has worked with chemical and cryonics companies to make
improved cold sleep treatments more commercially available throughout the Sphere.
Today, cold sleep is used in over a dozen applications including space travel
accommodation for those who experience transit disorientation syndrome (TDS),
long-term care of terminal disease patients, and violent prisoner transport.
Experimental uses of cold sleep technologies include study of the live human brain and
simpler storage of cloning tissue. Greater availability of cryogenic treatments and
related technologies is estimated to save 4 billion lives across the Inner Sphere in the
next five years alone.
In his comments on Cormier’s work, Exarch Damien Redburn said, “Hippocrates,
Salk, Crick, and Marsden are names that every medical student reveres, and rightly
so. Today I am honored to add Sir Pierre Cormier’s name to this exalted list of
doctors and medical pioneers for his achievements in human health and welfare. Our
generation and the generations to come thank you for your efforts, Sir Cormier. We
pray that your ingenuity and humanity will continue in equal measure.”
Cormier appeared emotionally moved after the knighting. He was joined by his wife
and three children at the ceremony.
Sir Cormier joins the distinguished line of scientists and artists who have been made
honorary knights within the Sphere for outstanding achievement, most recently
including the knighting of Sir Eduard Bioucek for his work in music composition.
