Cancer cells attack Vesicles of hope arrive Excitons shine bright Read the Nanoscale cover article that inspired the haiku by @Lagugne and co-authors 👇: doi.org/10.1039/D4NR04…

With Emmanuel Maisonhaute, Professor Sorbonne Université (France), we are looking for a PHD candidate to do tip-enhacned Raman spectroscopy under electrochemical and vacuum condition with both Paris and Chicago experience. If you are interested in this, please contact us:

@Myaccountbaned3 @Tom_Antonov we are getting there..still 45 years lifespan for these pieces of technology sound over estimated, 20% of these planes will crash and the inflation is now incontrollable with Tariff. Diversifying the source of the fighters would have been wise in the current context.

@Lagugne @Tom_Antonov Fly-away cost is 89 million USD, that 70 billion is CAD = $48 billion+ USD That 70 billion figure includes 45 years of inflation, spare parts, ammunition and upgrades Rafale price (2023 Qatar deal) was $7B for 24 jets, a non-stealthy, less capacity jet but more expensive

Should #Canada start by cancelling the $70 Billion F35 program for only 88 planes and buy reliable #Rafale instead? 😎

@Myaccountbaned3 @Tom_Antonov 88 planes at 80 million each equals 7 billions not 70 billions. this implies that over 40 years of the lifetime of a single plane we pay 10 times its initial cost for its maintenance. it s like we could exchange the plane every 4 years for a new one!!! insane pricing!

@Tom_Antonov The 70 billion CAD quoted is the total life cycle cost including acquisition, development, upgrades, operation cost of the whole fleet to the 2070s The unit cost of the Canadian F-35 is 80+ million USD. You can’t find a better deal, Rafale’s is less capable and more expensive

@JustinTrudeau $70billion for 88 planes make the cost of a single F35 of 795million including its maintenance over its lifespan. The catalogue price is about 150M per plane. So the maintenance per plane is the cost of 5 planes. not a good deal for Canadians at all.

@JustinTrudeau Should Canada start by cancelling the $70 Billion F35 program for only 88 planes and buy reliable Rafale instead? We can changes the rules of the game during the game too.

No one — on either side of the border — wants to see American tariffs on Canadian goods.   I met with our Canada-U.S. Council today. We’re working hard to prevent these tariffs, but if the United States moves ahead, Canada’s ready with a forceful and immediate response.

Start to cancel the F35 program that cost $70 billion to Canadians (for only 88 planes!!) and buy some Dassault Rafale: that s the hors d oeuvre #1. si si on peut le faire!

In collaboration with startup company Scatr, #WesternU prof François Lagugné-Labarthet (@Lagugne) developed technology to check the composition of street drugs. The innovative tech is being piloted at safe consumption sites across the country. brnw.ch/21wPayw

@agbrolo @chemistryatuvic Congrats Alex!

Leaving soon to #Niagara_Falls for the #Herzberg award presentation. #spectroscopy #Raman #nanotechnology #analytical_chemistry #icass_2024

Congrats to our poster Winners Clement (Western), Armaghan (TMU) and Nanquin (Waterloo) at the 13th NanoOntario Conference at Western U for their work in nanoscale science.

Congrats to Nicholas (Guelph), Emma (Western) and Osnan (McMaster) for getting Oral Presentation Awards at the 13th NanoOntario Conference. Excellent Work and more to come!

Congratulations for Maryam Ebrahimi @NanoLabEbrahimi from Lakehead university @mylakehead , recipient of the 2024 NanoOntario Award for Early Career Achievement in NanoScience. Impressive Visualization of single bonds at low T and P with Scanning Probe Microscopy.

Congrats TK Sham for your NanoOntario Award for lifetime achievements in Nanosciences ! publishing 670 papers in 40 ys is a milestone that 99.99% of us will not beat! Synchrotron Science rocks! Canadian Science too ! (even if we could do much better with $$$ at the right level)

Second day of the NanoOntario conference starts with Prof Gateman o n micro scale electrochemistry @SamanthaGateman

Award winner Jose Moran-Mirabal foe mid career outstanding Achievements in Nanosciences

Congrats to Christy and Zeiad for their BSc!. Christy worked on ML models for street drug detection and is heading to a prestigious Law school. Zeiad worked over the summers in the group and is joining the FLL group as a grad student. I was lucky to have them in my group!

@ShiraJoudan This would be awesome, if and only if, Foreign students who constitute the basis of our research are eligible t o apply for the doctoral scholarships. Are they, yes or no?
