John Cormier 🇨🇦<p>Hi everyone! My old introduction was getting a little stale so I figured it was time to write a new one. I’m John, and I now live on the east coast of Canada. I’m a 50-something physicist who invented a laser technology to detect diseases using exhaled breath, in addition to some holographic technologies. I love R&D but the best part of my career has been mentoring promising young scientists, engineers, and founders. I have a wide variety of interests that include music, art, science, health, photography, books, reading, video games, biking, hiking, gardening, and much more. I am a lifelong feminist and ally. When I came to Mastodon from Twitter in the fall of 2022, I had no idea that I was actually autistic. If you made it this far, please wave or say hello! <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/introduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>introduction</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/actuallyautistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>actuallyautistic</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/physics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>physics</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>science</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Canada</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/startups" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>startups</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/founder" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>founder</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/mentoring" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mentoring</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>books</span></a></p>
