Grateful beyond words for the unwavering support and guidance of my PhD supervisor. He's been a great mentor and a constant source of encouragement throughout this challenging journey. The imprints of his influence will remain with me for the rest of my life #NMR#PhD#PhDlife
@SouthwestAir My flight was delayed multiple times and then cancelled after I spent 10 hours at the Orlando airport. Now I’ve been trying to reach customer service for over 2 hours with no response. This situation is unacceptable. Can someone please assist with rebooking
Tired of always speculating about MR spectroscopy?
If you've ever looked at an MR spectroscopy & thought: "I have no idea what I’m looking at!"--then this cheat sheet is for you!
Here are the 5 basic rules you need so you can understand the spectrum of basic spectroscopy!
(1) First you need to know the peaks.
—3 main peaks: Choline, Creatine, NAA
—Remember the order bc a spectrum looks like mountain peaks & it is cold in the mountains. And CHOld CREATures NAp or hibernate in the mountains
(2) Hunter’s angle:
—Most people know that the peaks of the spectrum should go up at you move lateral, called Hunter’s angle
—Most bad things reverse Hunter’s angle
—Ask yourself: Is my arrow pointed up to shoot into the air at the enemy (good) or is point to the ground where it will hit the dirt (bad)
(3) TE & spectrum length are inversely related
—Spectroscopy follows the rule: speak softly & carry a big stick.
—Short TE = long spectrum, lots of extra peaks for glutamate/glycine, myoinsitol
—Long TE = short spectrum, mainly the basic 3 peaks
(4) Each region has its own unique signature
—Each brain region has its own unique composition of compounds that might alter Hunter’s angle a bit, but not reverse it
—Need a control in contralateral normal brain so compare apples to apples
(5)Lactate peak goes like a sine wave
—Lactate peak represents anerobic metabolism—sign of cells in trouble
—It’s at 1.3ppm. Remember this bc 13 is an unlucky number & lactate is an unlucky sign!
—It’s like a sine wave: up at short TE (35), down at intermediate TE (144), and up again at long TE (244)
—You can use this flipping to better visualize the lactate peak
—You can remember it’s down in the middle TE bc when you’re caught in the middle, you’re down & out
Just remember these tricks & you will be spectacular at basic spectroscopy!
Looking for collaborators
I'm in need of nanoplastics for my metabolic research. If you have the ability to synthesize them, let's collaborate! Looking for partners to push the boundaries of science together. DM if interested! #Research#Nanoplastics#PhD#Chemistry
Many students have fallen in love with #neurology after neuroanatomy. I’m forever grateful to Dr. Haines for showing me the wonders of neuroscience. I think he would have been proud of this edition.
When I was leaving the PhD lab my prof signed my thesis with a heartfelt note: ‘Remember that I’m here whenever you will need me’
I’m really blessed to have a such great mentor in my life
#phdlife#phd#nmr#phdvoice#BestProfessor
Even after graduation, he continues to show genuine care about my well being and success. He's not just a professor; he's a mentor and a role model, I truly respect him more than anyone.

Another scientist whose work initially didn't get the recognition that it deserved - Victor Ambros was denied tenure at Harvard, even after publishing the seminal work that resulted in him receiving the Nobel Prize today!
This year’s medicine laureates Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun studied a relatively unassuming 1 mm long roundworm, C. elegans.
Despite its small size, C. elegans possesses many specialised cell types such as nerve and muscle cells also found in larger, more complex animals, making it a useful model for investigating how tissues develop and mature in multicellular organisms.
Read how the 2024 medicine laureates’ investigations into C. elegans revealed an entirely new dimension to gene regulation: https://t.co/8RwUplwYQA

BREAKING NEWS
The 2024 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for the discovery of microRNA and its role in post-transcriptional gene regulation.

Sorry to say I'm really disappointed with your service. My bags are still missing, I get no help from customer service. Mail after Mail no response. Its been 5 days, what happened to my bags ? When I tried to call them customer service lady talks rude. Where's my bag?
🎙️ J. Gvardiol: "Before I left Manchester, I was with Grealish, and he was saying 'It's coming home,' alluding to England winning the Euro.
I told him, 'What’s coming home? Only you guys will come home.'"
