This is a very tough loss, see this post from Prof. Lucio Frydman over on LinkedIn. www.linkedin.com/posts/lucio-...

FYI, a nice journal, The Chemical Educator, has moved to University of California Press (online.ucpress.edu/tce). A while back we reported a simple NMR lab to detect adulterants in OTCs. (online.ucpress.edu/tce/article-...) Good wishes to this new chapter of TCE.

I occasionally buy mcat prep books to keep an eye on things, and was intrigued that the latest book I bought has the logo pasted below. I guess we will increasingly need things like this. I don't know any more about it, but here is link: authorsguild.org/human-author...

Reminder Friday Jan 9 (today!) for abstracts for consideration for talks for ENC. After Jan 9, the sooner an abstract is submitted, the more chance it has of being considered for an oral presentation. www.enc-conference.org/Abstract-Sub...

IVAN NMR Workshop, Thursday, January 29, 12 noon EST / 6 pm CET, Fraction libraries for quantitative NMR metabolomics, presented by Art Edison, University of Georgia ivanmr.com #NMRchat #NMR 🧲

dipping our toes in IDPs to support great work led by my very cool colleagues in engineering antimicrobials. Congrats to Josh in our lab for running and assigning these tough spectra. (open access) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Consider giving Usched a try for NUS of 2D-NMR - run now on nmrbox (or free download). Long story short: schedules are knowably decoherent and more reliable. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

random find (looks legit) is a remarkable demonstration of electromagnetism in a coil with DC current - welding shops have iron rich dust/dirt and if the welding cable is coiled, you get this. packaged-media.redd.it/x6zr96zqepwf...

Big lab news! Huge congrats and our warmest wishes to lab alum Tom Mann, starting his independent career at Berkeley #BucknellChem mcb.berkeley.edu/news-and-eve...

Also check out the invited speakers for ENC #ENC2026: www.enc-conference.org/ENC-Invited-...

Just to celebrate some good news - we got wonderful new & modern orgo labs, built for small labs with close interactions with instructors, generous hoods; this is one of several. #BucknellChemistry

Meet the 2026 ENC plenary speakers (#ENC2026): www.enc-conference.org/ENC-Plenary-...

Stumbled on this, a unique offering from a lab at Michigan, an atlas of Fourier pairs - follow link to kickstarter. hovdenlab.com/software.htm

Big congrats to Chris Burgey '91 (Bucknell Chemistry) for being honored as one of ACS 2025 heroes of chemistry. #BucknellChem #Merck cen.acs.org/acs-news/acs...

Nominations for the Laukien prize are open until Oct 31. www.enc-conference.org/Gunther-Lauk...

wearing more hats, so posting less, but let's try to fix that; first, local folks here's the annual chem halloween show, see some science on a bigger scale. All ages. #BucknellChem

consider joining me and Frank Delaglio as we look at the sampling side of NUS next week as a part of the outstanding Global NMR Discussion series #NMRChat www.globalnmr.org

Immersing in great science at PANIC, learning a lot here, and thanks so much for having me to share metabolomics panicnmr.com

I don't think I realized just how much I needed ENC right now. Great to reconnect with this amazing network of friends and colleagues and always the new science, transformative applications, and more. Thanks to all of you. #ENC2025

If you are at #ENCISMAR2025 and you knew Alex Pines, please come share memories of him with the IVAN users group tomorrow. It will be informal and everyone is welcome. Tuesday April 8, 2025, at 8:00PM Pacific Time Oak Shelter at Asilomar

Congrats to lab alum Chengtong Zhang on his ENC talk today. Can’t wait to see what you continue to do in NMR! #enc2025

Congratulations to Zhehong Gan @nationalmaglab.bsky.social! Well-deserved recognition for his seminal work in solid-state NMR including development of many modern pulse sequences & applications in high magnetic fields and quadrupolar nuclei, vital in materials science! #NMRchat #chemsky

all right, which one of you is this? ;-) (flagged for me by a colleague ): www.ebay.com/itm/19715366...

a little preview of our posters for ENC/ISMAR: you can see new methods to develop improved NUS schedules, and learn about observing NSAIDS in sera and what they may or may not tell us... #ENC2025

v. glad to share some organ-specific NMR insect-omics on the small honeybee midgut organ as a part of larger omics work with the fantastic Snow lab; challenging NMR, congrats to Joanna to get these nontrivial spectra. Take a peek. #NMRChat www.mdpi.com/2075-4450/16...

happy PI day to the NMR community! Be sure to celebrate by visiting your favorite spectrometer today and indulging in some pi and pi/2 pulses and much more...

reminder: today is early reg deadline for the combined ENC/ISMAR, be sure to lock it in. www.enc-conference.org/ENC-ISMAR-Re...

Found this gem while cleaning.

I continue to explore and like typst for technical writing, so I offer this simple header snippet that I put together (I'm sure there are better ways) for your enjoyment; see if you can figure out what it does.... #twospacesarebetterthanone

we were so good, got our first ENC poster abstract in over a month ago...but the second one I'll hit submit tonite around 1159pm; who's with me?!?!?!? ;-) (hint: today is deadline) www.enc-conference.org/ENC-ISMAR-Ab...

pardon nerdiness/silliness, but teaching box plots and their ilk, and I made the following meme for my lecture slides ; are memes now dated? who knows... #datascience #draxfordatascience

quick reminder to keep an eye on final abstract submission Feb 28 for the combined ENC/ISMAR 2025 : www.enc-conference.org/ENC-ISMAR-Ab...

Alexander Pines and the end of an era, Warren S. Warren www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... #NMRchat 🧲

unpopular opinion: review articles have gotten out of hand; last year I reviewed one that was openly fraudulent; my article feed now overflowing with them, most hasty/dated/recycled; certainly good ones mixed in but frustrating to find them; we need a reset on reviews; #sciencepublishing

At ENC-ISMAR 2025 April 6-10 in California, don't miss @brukercorporation.bsky.social events - Apr 5: Saturday Afternoon Workshops at 1 PM - Apr 6: Sunday Symposium at 8 AM - Apr 7: Bruker Night at 7 PM; hear from Frank Laukien at 8:30 PM Learn more: www.bruker.com/en/news-and-... #NMRchat #NMR 🧲

alright bluesky hive mind, in the context of NMR, artefact or artifact? #NMRchat #Sciencewriting

new NUS work, insights into underlying theory of schedule design and tradeoffs for extreme sparsity www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #NUS

Thought I’d share a hobby project, we are hoping the neighborhood owls deem this to be the most sincere option to nest. Will update if anything happens. #owlbox

my son introduced me to typst and I have to admit I like both the use and aesthetics; no ding on latex/overleaf/etc. Exporting is limited to pdf I think. Pro tip: I'm not there yet, but you can program in typst and integrate progs into your docs. So kinda cool, maybe try it out. typst.app

gearing up for pchem and thinking that when I teach thermo, I sometimes point unexpected terms that still stick around today, fusion=melting, and rarefied = low density, are two of my faves. #thermodynamics

If you knew Alex, please join this online event in his memory on Monday. I will be one of the speakers. I miss him very much.

In know it's easy for things like this to creep up, reminder that abstract deadline for consideration for promoted ENC/ISMAR talks is friday! www.enc-conference.org/ENC-ISMAR-Ab... #NMRchat

Bummed holidays are over? One last holiday spectrum then, the humble cranberry packed with antioxidants (acetonitrile extract). Students compared seeds to flesh; time short, so didn't wash the seeds so some of the juice came along for the ride like the sugars. #NMRchat #Bucknell #BucknellChem

In 1970, some creative #Bucknell chemistry students fashioned a #Christmastree in their lab in Olin Science Building. #universityarchives #historicphoto #bertrandlibrary

Our students got caught up in more holiday NMR (on the lobby screen for any of you locals); so to extend your holiday season, NMR of a candy cane (dissolved and extracted). Oner more to come and shout out to @uottawanmr.bsky.social who inspired this. #NMRchat #HolidayNMR #BucknellChem

Confirmed invited speakers at ENC-ISMAR Conference 2025 @enc-conference.org January 12 is the deadline for oral consideration www.enc-conference.org/ENC-ISMAR-In... #NMRchat #NMR 🧲

crazy that this EHS nightmare was apparently discovered by an urban-explorer (now and EPS superfund site); some of the pics here: www.reddit.com/r/WTF/commen...

@nmrguy.bsky.social built an owl box for me for Christmas! I'm thrilled!

was reminded of an answer to a thermo exam question from many years ago, "one form of the Second Law is that in all spontaneous processes the entropy of the university increases." Pretty smart student. #highered
