This morning I am reinstalling all the applications on my computer.

Recommendations for FIJI plugins especially welcome at this time as I can’t remember all the ones I added!

Plus any software for a microscopist/biologist with temporary admin rights…

A bit of snow this morning..
Dumb NMR question. Why don't we see splitting from 35Cl or 37Cl in the solvent signal when we run either 1H or 13C NMR? Is it being decoupled as with {1H}13C or does it have something to do with the gyromagnetic ratio or???? #NMR #coupling #decoupling #spectroscopy #chemistry #chemchat #help

What does digital independence look like for a #university?

At the University of #Groningen, this conversation has been growing bottom-up: academic & professional support staff are driving a move away from #BigTech toward shared, #open alternatives.

With support from the Uni Board, this effort is shaping a community-driven 5-year roadmap towards #DigitalAutonomy by 2030.

Newspaper Ukrant covered the shift.

We can do without them: how the UG is cutting ties with Big Tech

By 2030, the university aims to be digitally independent. And that’s not a pipe dream, say proponents of the plan.

In some articles, the last sentence is the most important one, sometimes even the only one you need to read of the entire thing:

“Just because Bluesky is at the earliest phase, before enshittification has started, doesn’t mean it won’t be enshittified.”

Great talk by @p_vanderwel at #NWOCHAINS2024. He talked about his group's work on understanding the molecular structures of fibrils of mutant huntingtin protein occurring in Huntington’s disease using a combination of solid-state NMR, ER and simulation. https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.07.21.549993v2
