Dr. Simon Newcomb
Canadian-American astronomer and mathematician. Though he had little conventional schooling, he made important contributions to timekeeping as well as writing on economics, statistics and authoring a science fiction novel.
The Hall of Fame is presented each year to a current or former Nova Scotian who has made an outstanding lifetime contribution to society through scientific and technological discovery and invention. These individuals are role models for young Nova Scotians who may pursue careers in science and technology.
