We are cleaning out a storage area to turn it into a larger electronics/workshop for my colleague. There was a stack of at least half a dozen 300 MHz wide bore probes from the early 1990s. Including a 20 mm(!!!) probe, for which I found some very chonky spinners. #NMRchat #chemsky 🧪

Workers broke open the first tunnel connecting Austria to Italy under the Brenner Pass.

We are looking to integrate a fluorescent marker in an E. coli BW strain we built; what's your favorite integration site (and why)? (asking here seemed to have worked quite well for @wvschaik.bsky.social and so I figured why not trying?)

Well, it’s a wrap! The 2025 Alpine meeting on magnetic resonance in solids has concluded today. As usual I really enjoyed it (and learned some interesting new things). Thanks to all speakers from all over the world, as well as the organizers! #ssNMR

Is there anyone here at one of the universities in Wellington, NZ, who would want to host me to give a talk around November 10th?

…After considering the changes you have made, I am pleased to accept your manuscript for publication in its current form… :-)

My quote of the day What is objectionable, what is dangerous about extremists, is not that they are extreme, but that they are intolerant. The evil is not what they say about their cause, but what they say about their opponents. Robert F. Kennedy, Sr.

I was thinking about this in another thread, but - what *are* the details that would make a show set in a bio/chem lab “realistic”? - the pipette always needs a tip when used - some things are *scrupulously* clean, to the point that they’re worn from it - lab coats need to be dirty (or disposable)

Last week, I started teaching the freshman biology class (BIO 101), which I'm very excited about. I'm sharing one of my introductory slides on the three pillars of modern biology - evolution, genetics and molecular nature of genetic material. Looking forward to teaching the first-year biology class!
