Congratulations @PatrickLab_MS ! Great achievement!

Wow. Five bots followed me today (all now blocked). That's a new record.

With our new 800 #NMR and NMR facility manager, this would be perfect for someone with interests in biophysical NMR. Reach out if you have questions! @nmr900

Is there any reason why a Bruker QNP accessory couldn't be used to collect phase-sensitive gradient experiments (e.g. a 19F{1H} HOESY on a 1H/BBF probe)? "hoesyfhqfqnrv" is okay, I'd like to clean up artifacts, and that program is limited to QF mode. @nmr900 #NMR

Starting today, thanks to @NSF, MSU is now recycling nearly all of the helium in its #NMR facility. It's been a crazy week, but Bryan from @BlueFors_Ltd got us up and running. @nmr900

So, what would be on your list? What promises do you want to make to yourself? Use John Wooden's list as a spark, but create your own. Write them out and look at them at the start of every day. Enjoy this? Share the thread and follow me @SahilBloom for more in future!

Maybe even read some papers before you were born (gasp!).

A little too close to home, Bee.

This short clip is a masterclass from Mike Krzyzewski: "The very first thing is that in order to get better you change limits. And when you change limits, you're gonna look bad and you're gonna fail." Life Hack: Embrace the embarrassment of being a beginner. The only way to accomplish something meaningful is to endure days, weeks, months, or even years of embarrassing failure. Every expert started out as a beginner. Those who embrace the embarrassment will eventually win. Coach K adds: "You're not gonna get there alone. Be on a team. Surround yourself with good people, and learn how to listen." Surround yourself with people who have: 1. High Expectations: They see you for your full potential. They are willing to hold you to that standard. 2. High Support: They provide the love and tangible support to help you meet those high expectations. The combination is powerful. The concluding insight is one of his best: "I just like to work hard every day...make every day like it's my first day, but with the experience of 42 years." Lesson: Show up with the hunger of Day 1, but the knowledge and wisdom of Day 1,000. If you do that, you'll be unbeatable.

I’ve handled the review of > 1000 papers at @nature. Over time, you notice aspects of presentation on which reviewers tend to comment. In the interests of minimizing hassles during review, I offer the following suggestions (a bit targeted to climate papers).

If an undergrad wants to work in your lab, what do you ask from them? Statement of purpose? Resume? None of the above? Do you ask for other info (e.g., first-gen student)? Thus far, I've been pretty laid back, but I wonder if asking for more might be better.

Never work after hours for someone who isn't willing to work after hours for you. #AcademicTwitter

What is a kitchen if not a chemistry lab for your home?

Today was hella productive and fairly gratifying. Too bad it was all service work. #AcademicTwitter
