A quick reminder that GAPS hosts a 30-minute chat with the colloquium speaker after each Thursday TRIUMF colloquium. These take place in the MOB Cafeteria, starting directly after the colloquium. This is a great opportunity for informal chats with the speaker,
related to their presentation or anything else you wish to discuss!</div>

mission: Each generation has encountered significant challenges, but responded with courage, determination and perseverance. We believe climate change is our generation's greatest challenge, requiring a unified response to innovate and shift away from the
status quo. We believe in humanity?s capacity to embrace challenges and unite, find solutions to alleviate the most severe effects of climate change. We believe this immense, global challenge, will fundamentally reshape our current understanding and lead to
a new era of discovery. We want to be actors of that change - engaged and passionate. The mission of Transmutex is to produce scalable carbon-free energy by recycling existing nuclear waste. Our aim is to advance technology that not only mitigates the risks
of nuclear waste but also leverages it as a resource for sustainable energy generation. Twenty-five years ago, a team of maverick scientists from CERN, under the guidance of Prof. Carlo Rubbia, Nobel Laureate (1984), set out to revolutionize carbon-free energy
production by combining the two widely unrelated technologies of nuclear reactors and particle accelerators. Although based on the nuclear science explorations by Ernest Lawrence (USA - Nobel Laureate 1939) and Nikolay Semyonov (Russia - Nobel Laureate 1956),
the concept of directing a beam of protons onto mildly radioactive fuel to produce clean energy had never been tried before. The now legendary First Energy Amplifier Experiment (FEAT), conceived by Prof. Rubbia, successfully demonstrated the fantastic potential
of this process for scalable carbon-free energy production. Initially successful, this technology was set aside in preference for uranium-based nuclear systems, required for the production of atomic weapons. This shift not only prioritized military needs but
also shaped the public's perception of nuclear technology, marked by the instability and devastating accidents at Chernobyl and Fukushima. Consequently, the development of nuclear systems has historically been driven more by the demands of warfare than by
the needs of sustainable energy futures. Today, we recognize the opportunity to revive a civilian focused technology that offers a proliferation resistant alternative to traditional nuclear systems. As we face the critical task of mitigating climate change,
it is imperative to revisit and advance this underutilized technology. Our role extends beyond innovation; we aim to inform and align policymakers and the public around this sustainable energy solution, helping to rectify past decisions and focus on a sustainable
future. It takes a lot of pressure to enable anything revolutionary to truly emerge. Today, as we face the staggering scale of the necessary change to our societies to mitigate climate change, trying something entirely new has become a necessity. It's time
to be mavericks. ********** </span><span style="font-family: Aptos; font-size: 16px; color: rgb(64, 116, 234); text-transform: none;"><a href="https://uvic.zoom.us/j/86453195084?pwd=ortnSLaY2Us6PboKbdQA1RQZtRGFV6.1" class="ms-outlook-linkify" data-ogsc="" data-outlook-id="dc9a2462-db08-49f5-9c1b-3e4f9f092296" style="color: rgb(64, 116, 234); margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; text-align: left;">https://uvic.zoom.us/j/86453195084?pwd=ortnSLaY2Us6PboKbdQA1RQZtRGFV6.1</a></span><span style="font-family: Aptos; font-size: 16px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-transform: none;"> **********
