Sad that the university has decided to shut down the 900 MHz NMR in part because Trump’s illegal war has made helium supplies unpredictable and likely unaffordable. Don’t think I’ll ever get a chance to use its ilk again. #ChemSky 🧪
Congratulations to Jonathan on his award-winning talk at OCCI Day 2026!

Surging prices provide 'adrenaline shot' for upstart Canadian helium industry | CBC News
The global shortage of helium caused by the conflict in the Middle East and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz is providing a boost to Canada’s nascent helium industry.

‘It would be a catastrophe’: The Iran war has renewed calls for a sovereign medical supply chain
The fallout from the war in the Middle East has led to cuts in helium supplies for health services in at least one province — and experts are warning that Canada still hasn’t done enough to secure sov...

Axel Becke, the 'B' in 'B3LYP', author of the 8th most cited paper of all time, and my undergraduate quantum professor, has passed away. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...
Scientist Axel Becke showed how to quantify the bonds tying matter together
Theoretical chemist’s insights are now embedded into computer software used to predict the behaviour of molecules from pharmaceuticals to construction materials
