Cancer cells attack
Vesicles of hope arrive
Excitons shine bright
Read the Nanoscale cover article that inspired the haiku by @Lagugne and co-authors 👇:

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:

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!
If Donald Trump slaps 25% tariffs on Canadian goods, we must hit back—dollar for dollar—starting with 100% tariffs on all Tesla vehicles and U.S. wine, beer, and spirits. We must protect Canadian workers and businesses. chrystiafreeland.ca

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
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!

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)

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!
Fll group (Amy is missing) after the rehausal of Ayaz and Christy for their Chemistry BSc Thesis defense in this upcoming Saturday..Everyone seems to be happy about their performance including the dog!

I am increasingly forming the opinion that the grade inflation being seen at many elite universities, including at Yale, is another reflection of the way universities have become alienated from their core mission. The focus is on student experience rather than on student learning.
I've experienced this shift as a prof. When I arrived in '03 I gave 25% A/A- (admittedly, a carry-over from my years at MIT). Just learned that in Gen Ed courses, the average is now 80%. I've spoken to several deans, who say they're concerned about this grade inflation, & I hope something will be done (it can't be solved by individual profs).
