National Research Council Canada

Yeah, so Hutchin and Handegord were both Canadians.

Canada had a huge building science establishment, National Research Council, you know, other organizations along those lines.

And it has been established as a technical field up there for a long time.

So my favorite building science heroes, many of them are Canadian.

Two, a sample of uranium-235.

Three, the library and secret documents of the National Research Council.

Four, latest developments of electronic fuses for shells, radar, and a super-explosive known as RDX.

We've opened

May was sent to the headquarters of the Manhattan Engineer District in Washington, D.C.

One of the fundamental principles of United States military intelligence is that personnel on secret projects are entitled to know only as much as they require to carry on their work.

Thus, months before, when the National Research Council of Canada had proposed that Dr.

May be allowed to visit the United States for one month, the application had been placed before General Groves personally.

two teams had captured worlds around distant stars, giving astronomers an unprecedented pair of discoveries to compare.

Christian Marois and his colleagues at the National Research Council of Canada reported three planets orbiting HR 8799, a star roughly 130 light-years from Earth.

Their observations were made in infrared light, where young giant planets can reveal the heat remaining from their formation.

The difference was important.

in it whatsoever, despite the fact that the New Brunswick Home Builders Association here has been really on the leading edge to try and move the needle on net zero construction, for example.

And so it is, even, this is not exactly the same, but it's in the same church, not the same pew, but the Shediac pilot project that was done on community energy projects use with the National Research Council and NP Power and Siemens Canada, which the CEO of Siemens Canada speaks about as being a model for how communities need to move across Canada to look at establishing more self-generation with solar and demand flexibility and demand response systems and management with a smart grid and so on and so forth, storage in the houses and whatnot.

It got no interest from any of the government members provincially, except for the member, MLA for that area, who's the former mayor who was there when they got it going originally.

And I know he's very frustrated that his government's not Embracing this and saying, oh, this multi-year project really shows the way for how we need to move communities from an energy perspective and our electricity system, in a sense, on the demand side and distributed generation side forward.

And I noticed a similar sort of pattern in Canada, that some of the earliest figures that I talk about in the book really were able to do what they did because they had investment and support from what were formerly wartime institutions.

So the National Film Board, which begins as this propaganda office, but then becomes into a filmmaking... body and the National Research Council yeah which is like a um R D sort of body uh in the country for everything from like agriculture to you know nuclear physics and stuff like that so uh yeah that that was the big the reason for the beginning in 45 and then ending in 85 really by 85 All of the things that we have at our disposal today creatively, whether that's computers, home studios, a wide array of synthesizers, drum machines, sequencers, MIDI, all of these things were invented by that point.

And so that felt like a fundamental thing to build up toward.

And then I also noticed that like by 86, that's when we really start to get techno house music in full.

what an insult to, you know, a great mind.

And that really frustrated him.

But then, you know, as much as he benefited from being at that institution, the National Research Council, they didn't have a manufacturing arm, which meant when it came time for him to develop his electronic sack, but idea, which is this kind of early voltage controlled synthesizer and predecessor to the modular, they just they had to outsource it.

And then that meant trusting a different company with trying to manufacture it.

And that's one of the legacies of my parents is that they didn't just say, oh, let's press some blueberries and put it in and put the juice in a bottle.

They really did the the hard and scary part of investing with researchers at the National Research Council of Canada and a very famous agri food researcher of Dr. Willie Colt that some of your listeners may have heard about or read of.

And and also the Acadia University and Dalhousie University.

And that's what led to our processing, our proprietary processing techniques that are able to retain the vast majority of these health nutrients in our finished products that are are shelf stable and able to be enjoyed year round.

CBC Radio, Canada's public broadcaster.

[beeping] The National Research Council official time signal.

The beginning of the long dash following 10 seconds of silence indicates exactly 12 noon Central daylight time for Saturday, June 17th, 1995.

It's been a few years since CBC listeners could adjust their clocks to the National Research Council's official time signal, and with the changes coming to time zones across the country, we might wish we had the long dash following those beeps to keep it all straight.

On November 1st, the eastern half of Canada will turn its clocks back as usual, returning to standard time for the winter.

But from Northwestern Ontario to BC, things will work a little differently.

Subsequent analysis suggested heat shock from a chemical reaction rather than combustion.

After the initial incident, authorities, police, scientists from the National Research Council, and the Royal Canadian Air Force began probing for concrete clues at the site.

Michalak himself returned with two metal fragments he claimed came from one of the crafts.

When tested, they contained trace amounts of radium based paint or other radioactive contaminants that were readily available to hobbyist prospectors at the time.

She's the vice president of Psiphon.

Now, that second irony, Christine, I have to point out, is the fact that our own federal government awarded Psiphon upwards of $600,000 through the National Research Council.

Uh, this was a grant that they received.

And the government's own description of that funding calls Psiphon, quote, "the world's largest and most capable anti-censorship platform," unquote, and says the money was intended to i- improve Psiphon's ability to keep people connected under severe censorship conditions.
