I would encourage everyone to read this op-ed from E. Gordon Gee, whom Ohio State has hired back as a consultant, to see how authoritarian OSU has become. The post-apocalyptic higher ed hellscape he describes reflects conservative fever dreams & not what’s happening on the vast majority of campuses.

Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.  Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

I'm in #FAccT2025 next week. Psyched for my first @facct.bsky.social conference. HMU if you want to meet. We'll be presenting our paper "Hype, Sustainability, and the Price of the Bigger-is-Better Paradigm in AI" with @sashamtl.bsky.social & @meredithmeredith.bsky.social arxiv.org/abs/2409.14160

Hard to say it better and more evenly than the article below. The NSF really needs our support. What has been happening to NSF incredibly confusing. Defunding and physically disassembling the NSF would be a mistake of epic proportions. No one benefits. We will lose a critical innovation driver.

I’m happy to have published this work as part of a special issue in MRC about NMR in the Nordic Countries. Here, we give examples on our efforts in developing semi-automatic algorithms for #NMR data analysis. @au.dk doi.org/10.1002/mrc....

I just got the official email from the NSF about the drastic cuts and I think the correct translation is "if you are a young researcher who still wants to do science strongly consider leaving the United States if you can." which, really, is not an ideal message to be sending.

Socialism is what they called public power.  Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Attention NMR makers! Here are the DOR probe drawings that I shared last week at the ENC conference. I'm happy to answer any questions. zenodo.org/records/1512... #nmrchat

The 9th Gateway NMR Conference will take place on Thu & Fri, May 15 - 16, at the Ohio State University. It will inaugurate the first 1.2 GHz NMR spectrometer in the U.S, which is ready for a broad range of applications. Register by March 7 at u.osu.edu/gatewaynmr/

Registration deadline is March 7 ! 9th Gateway NMR Conference, Thu & Fri, May 15-16, 2025, the Ohio State University in Columbus, OH. Dedicated to the inauguration of the first 1.2 GHz NMR in the U.S., funded by #NSF and open to users nationwide u.osu.edu/gatewaynmr/ #NMRchat #NMR 🧲

Last night, the temperature outside dropped to 2 °F (-16.7 °C), causing all the hot water pipes on the top floor of our house to freeze while the cold water pipes didn't freeze. This is called the Mpemba effect. Can someone explain why this happens? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mpemba_...

Happy 2025! We are pleased to announce that MRSimulator 1.0 has been released and is available for simulating and analyzing solid-state NMR spectra. The open-access paper describing the Python implementation and usage can be found at: J. Chem. Phys., 161, 212501 (2024)
doi.org/10.1063/5.02...

We are pleased to announce the publication of this work. We hope the solid-state NMR community will find it valuable for the setup, measurement, and analysis of 3Q-MAS experiments. doi.org/10.1063/5.02...

Excited this is finally in print. We used Si-29 2D-J resolved spectra from PIETA to refine the structures of zeolites Sigma-2 and ZSM-12. Grateful for the collaboration with Darren Brouwer from Redeemer University, a master of NMR crystallography! #Zeolites #NMRChat doi.org/10.1039/D4CP...

I'm so glad my debut poem in Poetry Northwest is this one, which opens my new manuscript. Grateful to Keetje Kuipers & to all the amazing online & in print staff. www.poetrynw.org/kathy-fagan-...

Ok left Twitter a couple of years ago and just joined Bluesky. My first post is a link to the slides for my tutorial on NMR electronics that I gave at the PANACEA summer school in Venice last summer. #nmr www.grandinetti.org/resources/20...
