Hold my quarter-wave cable! UV-VIS has one over #NMRchat. We are using pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1... for our yearly Sensors & Devices course run by @vsaggiomo.bsky.social and some of the experimental details are... esoteric?

The Dutch national news is running a story about measles in Alberta, Canada. But the picture they post with it shows a sign in a English/German/Dutch bastard language?? Anyone who knows what this is? @nmr900.bsky.social, you're my foremost online Canadian contact 😅

Do you like bacteria? Do you like NMR? Do you hate oxygen? Then we are looking for you! We have a PhD position focussed on developing an analytical, anoxic, microfluidic NMR spectroscopy platform for microbial analysis @w-u-r.bsky.social. Feel free to share! #NMRchat tinyurl.com/anoxNMR

I made a thing! It's an EPR capillary flow system for 8 mm collets, using a 1mm OD capillary for aqeous and lossy samples. #NMRchat github.com/SanderBash/e...

People always ask me : “Cristi, how do you manage parenting a baby while going up for tenure?” It’s easy. The secret is *flow-based-scheduling*. Here are its three core strategies for new academic parents: Sleep when the baby sleeps Cry when the baby cries Publish when the baby publishes

Google search has become so useless. I forgot Lidia Gall's name and googled "Russian woman who invented electrospray" and the first result that comes up (after the AI slop) is the Wikipedia page for Marie Curie.

Picard engineering tip: Use the metric system.

Cool stuff today ❄️🧲🌞 #NMRchat

Yesterday in console troubleshooting, we released all of the lab ghosts

No fans of processcing CPMGs on Topspin using 'proc_t1'? #NMRchat

If you have never heard about Led Zep before (seriously?!) then start your journey here: open.spotify.com/album/3otvl9...

I'm trying to measure T2 using 'cpmg' and processing it using 'proc_t1' as per the manual on Bruker. CPMG uses a vclist, while proc_t1 loads a vdlist. Do I just copy the vclist values to a vdlist ('t2delay'), or do I need to correct these values with 'D20' for instance? #NMRchat #T2Thursday

Hi #NMRchat, I'm trying to run some solution NMR on 14N. We are getting a big initial spike in the FID. On Varian I would adjust rof2 and alfa, but on Bruker do I adjust the prescan delay ('DE')? Or is there another problem?

Hi #NMRchat, is there some way I can find out the duty cycle limit for hard (180deg) pulses on a Bruker SEF or BBO 5mm probe? I want to try a pulse sequence, but not kill the probe.

Okay, but hear me out: Spaghetti western blot

Hi all, haven't updated the #NMRchat starterpack in a while, does anyone want to be on there that isn't yet? Don't be shy! :)

In a sentence never before uttered by humans, I am delighted to share that an alligator stole my conservation instructor’s hat by jauntily walking into the water while wearing it 🐊

I don't think you can really call what Frodo and co. did a 'Fellowship'. None of those hobbits had to pass a grueling application progress or talk about Early Career Research goals. And only one of them submitted a book or paper at the end of it.

For the first time I developed some rolls of film myself. Am I a chemist now? (no.)

That’s the sun….

I made an account for the shop! I noticed today we've lost quite a few insta followers and remembered everyone is mad at Zuckerberg right now. It is difficult to make the jump as a business because we have a lot of engagement via Meta. But it seemed like a good idea to start posting elsewhere.

Hi #NMRchat, we're trying some low temperature experiments on our 600 (want to go to -70 deg C) and find that the shim stack gets too cold. We have a BVT3000, which lacks a shim gas supply. Right now I just have a N2 hose connected to the shim stack, but it doesn't cut it... any tips? 1/2

Last fill of the year 💪🧲❄️. #NMRchat

It's christmas

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Embarrassed to admit this, but I found out I spelt the acronym for NOESY (the NMR method) as "NOSEY" throughout most of my near-complete manuscript
