165 A Marquis Who's Who Magazine W ithout chemists like Dr. David Goring, it might be difficult to understand how various substances interact to create energy and break down matter. As a discipline, chemistry is important to various aspects of life, since it is involved in everything that we do. Dr. Goring’s contributions to the field have helped to improve the production of paper products. He began his career as a scientist with National Research Council Canada, gaining five years of experience. Dr. Goring’s desire to make an impact on the world directed him to the Pulp & Paper Research Institute of Canada, a nonprofit research and educational organization, in 1955. He remained at the company and held the positions of director of research, vice president of science, and vice president of the academy. Dr. Goring left the company in 1985 with ambitions of teaching future scientists, becoming a professor at the University of Toronto, where he taught for 16 years until he retired in 2002. Dr. Goring’s profession has made him an avid researcher. Desiring to know more about the field of chemistry, he became a research associate at McGill University from 1955 to 1969, and later a senior research associate from 1969 to 1986. His skills and knowledge allowed him to contribute to books as well as professional journals. Mr. Goring has achieved much over the course of his career, most notably being inducted into the Paper Industry International Hall of Fame in 2006 and receiving the Gunnar Nicholson Gold Medal Award from TAPPI, which is the highest honor that the association can bestow upon an individual. Outside of his career, through which he helped improve the efficiency of paper production, Dr. Goring served as a flying officer in the Royal Air Force from 1943 to 1946.
