About the ZOOMinar
Since the beginning of March, the COVID-19 pandemic has abruptly changed the way we work and live. These changes include working from home and not being able to share our latest research findings at conferences. In particular, essentially all of the conferences we normally attend (EUROMAR / Rocky Mountain / HYP20 / Gordon conferences etc.) have been cancelled or postponed. Hence, we would like to initiate a weekly ZOOMinar series for solid state NMR research groups with the goal of disseminating research results via an online ZOOM platform. We have decided, at least in the beginning, to focus on methods development in ssNMR & DNP in the first ZOOMinar series. With time we imagine that the subject matter will broaden. The idea for the ZOOMinar emerged last Friday and is the brainchild of Kong O. Tan who has organized an initial list of speakers. The list presently includes: Alexander Barnes, Matthias Ernst, Rob Tycko, Songi Han, Michal Leskes, Frederic Mentink-Vigier, and Tatyana Polenova. In the future we hope that some of you will volunteer to do presentations on exciting results from your laboratory. Please do not be shy about telling us that you would like to participate. The ZOOMinar will occur every Wednesday around 11 am Boston time (tentatively), and it would last either 1 or 1.5 hour.
Cheers,
Bob and Kong
Presentation guidelines
- It should be latest research findings, i.e. no older than one year of published material
- Each talk will span 40 minutes (23 mins talk + 17 mins questions)
- The ZOOMinar will be recorded and posted online only if the speaker agrees. If not posted online, the link will be sent to the speaker, whom you can email/ask.
- We will take questions from both Q&A function (text) and whoever raised hands (verbally)
- First session is on methods development, then applications (interleaved between bio/materials)
- Use the online abstract submission system if you would like to be a speaker (students/postdocs encouraged)
