Merle needs a bit of help.  I'm teaching a short online course this week for the U. of Ottawa, and one of the guys in my course is the Dean of the School of Engineering. (Why, I can't imagine.)  Anyway, his research field is nanotechnology.  Is it here?  Where has it been applied?  Is it an incredibly generative technology that will change our near-term future?  HELP, and thanks.

He said the city is going to “flood our system with mental health professionals and law enforcement working as a team to move out the disorder that's clearly in the subway system in our city.”

A couch by every turnstyle?

 

A new collective?  A murder of crows; a flood of psychiatrists?

 

Rumor has it that Biden is considering sending mental health professionals to the Ukrainian border.  

 

Needless to say, I have volunteered.
