@gutenberg_org #Chemistry is the ‘central science’, and there is not a chemical concept older or more important that the atom. Yet when R. F. W. Bader and his research group at #McMaster University in #Canada developed the #Quantum Theory of Atoms *IN* Molecules, within which atoms ⚛️ have well-defined ‘zero-flux’ edges, it was, and still is, rejected by most of the #science community. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/anie.201201794

A commercial company with an extremely large collection of nuts and a very good search/filter interface!
Great for finding out and selecting. Of course you could then buy locally.

DOUG EARLE APPOINTED CEO OF WRHN
After a 30-year career in fundraising Doug Earle has taken the role as the first CEO of the Waterloo Regional Health Network (WRHN) Foundation as it begins to fundraise for the new hospital campus scheduled to open in 2035.
Earle was announced as CEO on Oct. 29, 2025, and will lead the foundation’s fundraising efforts for its three existing facilities and the new hospital campus located in the David Johnston Research + Technology Park at the University of Waterloo’s North Campus.
Before joining the WRHN Foundation, Earle was the CEO of the West Park Healthcare Centre Foundation in Toronto where he led fundraising for the hospital’s new building that opened in 2023. It was the tenth building that Earle had led the fundraising effort, but he joked that he still had the itch to work on another project.
“I’m not a maintainer, I’m a builder. I was looking for a new challenge, and this new hospital building is quite exciting to be a part of,” he said.
While it is not his first hospital project, it does hold a special meaning.
“I’ve never actually been at the beginning of a new building project. That’s my goal this time. To be here while we’re just starting the design, and I hope to be there when the staff move in,” Earle said.
The initial planning and application phase of the new hospital was completed this year with a $15 million contribution from the province. The WRHN is now actively working with the province to receive approval to move into the design phase, which will take two years to finalize.
The province funds 100 per cent of the design and planning phase, and 90 per cent of the construction costs. The WRHN Foundation and local governments are responsible for the construction phase’s remaining 10 per cent and all required equipment and infrastructure.
“If we get the go ahead in the spring budget, it’ll be about three years before the walls go up. Then it takes about two years for all the electrical work and quality testing. That’s when we would take possession, probably 2031, and our first payment would be due,” he said.
The second payment would be due in 2034, but before that, the WRHN Foundation will need to start fundraising for equipment in 2030.
“That’s about $30 million a year; it’s a lot of dollars,” he said.
Fundraising for the new hospital does not mean that new equipment and programs are on hold at WRHN’s Midtown, Queen St., and Chicopee campuses. One of the campaigns Earle is working on is to bring neurosurgery back to the Waterloo Region.
“We have not had a neurosurgeon for well over a decade. If you’re having an aneurysm and you’re in the ER, you know time is short. Right now, you have to go to McMaster, which is another hour of not getting treatment. We’ve submitted a plan to the Ministry of Health and we’re waiting to hear back,” Earle said.
Once approved, the WRHN Foundation will fund renovations at WRHN Midtown to support neurosurgery.
“We can run neurosurgery at Midtown for another ten years and then move all the equipment to the new hospital when it opens.”
Whether it is one-time or monthly donations, Earle said this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to make an investment in healthcare.
“We’re the fastest growing region in the country and will be over a million people in ten years. The one thing that’s been consistent is the care and passion of our staff and the delivery of quality care. Now we have an opportunity to give them a building that is designed for them to deliver the best quality care possible,” Earle said.

I just ran across these pictures from my last #shure prototype. This was an #rf #pll board. We needed a shield and I decided we could use #kicad and some brass sheet stock from #mcmaster to build a custom shield. I drew it in kicad on the am and had a shield cut on the #laser #lpkf machine in our #Niles #illinois office by afternoon and I bent and soldered it straight away. #electronics #freecad

@brian_gettler In 1985 at the #McMaster #Chemistry Department, I was one of three inaugural recipients of Graduate Research Fellowships from the #Xerox Research Centre of Canada. The other two were Chemical Engineering PhD students, possibly in Alberta. My understanding was that this was to ‘experiment’ with university-industry graduate research partnerships that are still popular in the #UnitedStates. The Xerox program no longer exists, and neither does the XRCC itself. Sad.

"Many former top officials in Trump’s administration continue to say they remain confounded by his seeming admiration for the #Russian autocrat.
In a new book, Trump’s former national security adviser H.R. #McMaster described his bafflement at his boss’s eagerness to please #Putin.
Mr. McMaster recounted how, in 2018, #Trump reveled over a newspaper article about comments Putin made both deriding America’s #political system and praising Trump."

Vladimir #Putin exploited Donald #Trump’s “ego and insecurities” to exert an almost mesmeric hold over the former #US president, who refused to entertain any negative evaluation of the autocratic Russian leader from his own staff, and ultimately fired his national security adviser, HR #McMaster, over it.
“After over a year in this job, I cannot understand Putin’s hold on Trump,” McMaster recalls saying in the memoir.

@luckytran In SC #McMaster just wants us to die. He never had time to address Covid, he went right from closed to open and thousands of people died who didn’t need to. Including 13 people NMB to Ducks for a shag party that was supposed to be canceled. One guy in the band died as well as one having a heart attack shortly thereafter. The 13 doesn’t include the elderly man who came in from Calabash and said he hadn’t danced with anyone he didn’t know 🤷♀️🤷♂️🤷🏾 He was dead 2 weeks later

The media continues to discuss #Trump’s #criminal #indictments, and is — finally! — noticing that Trump is becoming less and less #coherent.
But why isn’t it reporting on something almost every lawmaker and journalist in official Washington knows
— that Trump is remarkably #stupid?
I don’t mean just run-of-the-mill stupid.
I mean extraordinarily, off-the-charts, #stupifyingly #stupid.After all, he recently claimed that magnets don’t work in water, that the Civil War was unnecessary because it should have been “negotiated,” and that no one would know who Lincoln was if he hadn’t gone to war.
Still don’t believe Trump is stupid?
Consider the views of the people who worked most closely with him during his presidency.
Anyone remember when Secretary of State #Rex #Tillerson called Trump a “f—king #moron?”
Or when National Security Adviser #H.R. #McMaster called him a “#dope?”
And Treasury Secretary #Steve #Mnuchin, former White House Chief of Staff #Reince #Priebus, former White House Chief of Staff }John #Kelly, and even #Rupert #Murdoch all referred to Trump as an “#idiot?”
(Technically, Murdoch called him a “f—king idiot.”)https://robertreich.substack.com/p/seriously-how-dumb-is-trump?utm_medium=mastodon

@verdantsquare Shes icky and not qualified. She did zero for the citizens of South Carolina. She would not expand Medicare, and now in South Carolina the new governor #McMaster will not expand feeding children in the summer. All South Carolina would have to pay is half of the administrative fees. It’s abhorrent that he would deny children sustaining life food. #GOP

@cs Canada has different rules for #LPFM #CommunityRadio and #CampusRadio. Starting in 1974 we got Canada's first Community Radio FM station, CKWR, right here in @waterlooregion, followed by Campus Radio FM: CKCU at Carleton Uni in 1975, then CFMU at #McMaster Uni in 1977, then CKMS at #Waterloo Uni in 1978. All were initially restricted to 50W or 100W, but are now 250W to 1000W. Waterloo is particularly rich in Community Radio, there's also CJIQ at #ConestogaCollege, and #MidtownRadio online.

Wages go up all over the country today, but not in South Carolina. Where minimum wage is still 725 an hour and that’s what I’d guess 90% of employers pay. Get rid of #Mcmaster and all the rich #GOP criminals who are holding back South Carolina’s huge %, around 16%, of poor people from living the American dream. South Carolina sucks and should never be considered a good place to live.

November subscriber prints.
Every shop, garage, or manufacturing space has a well worn yellow covered 8,000 page McMaster-Carr catalog. If you go online they have CAD files for almost every product and if you have a pen plotter you can have fun stacking chain, AC motors, and DC power convertors.

And here is my contribution, "Variants", to the @aoc_study exhibition, created after multiple visits to the @sloboda_lab at McMaster University to learn all about the early origins of health and disease.
"Variants" addresses the complexity of factors affecting the early origins of health and disease. The sequence of paintings in this triptych guides the viewer through the process of a hypothetical fetus becoming a physical reality.
