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.

[François Lagugné @Lagugne]

@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 @Tom_Antonov]

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

[François Lagugné @Lagugne]

@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.

[François Lagugné @Lagugne]

@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.

[François Lagugné @Lagugne]

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. https://t.co/OX0nImM39w

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. https://t.co/zfKiT0zsgZ

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.

[François Lagugné @Lagugne]

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.

[NanoOntario @NanoOntario]

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)

[François Lagugné @Lagugne]

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?
