<![CDATA[Hi everyone!]]>Hi everyone! Iā€™m John, a GenX physicist who invented laser technologies to detect diseases using exhaled breath, as well as some holographic technologies for augmented reality. But the best part of my work has been mentoring young scientists, engineers, and founders. Nowadays I live near some of the best beaches in Atlantic Canada. Interested in science, health, music, art, photography, books, biking, and D&D. On Mastodon since 2022.

I've found those unplanned, collaborative moments can be just as meaningful.

Could informal collaboration and peer-to-peer learning be equally valuable?

Welcome. I used to know a nuclear physicist (Boomerish) named Tom Cormier who was at Texas A&M & then Wayne State in Detroit.
