Analytical Methods Emerging Investigators themed issue now published

21 Aug 2015

Issue 17 is our themed issue on Emerging Investigators, featuring papers from some of the rising stars of analytical science. The aim of this issue was to highlight some of the outstanding young analytical scientists of today, and in doing so capture newly emerging high-impact areas of research – once you’ve taken a look at the papers, we hope you’ll agree that we’ve succeeded in doing this!

The issue is introduced in an Editorial from the Guest Editors: Lane Baker of Indiana University and Ryan Bailey of the University of Illinois.

Royal Society of Chemistry NMR Discussion Group – 8th Annual Postgraduate Meeting, University of Manchester

18 Aug 2015

The annual NMR Discussion Group Postgraduate Meeting is now an established event and the 8th meeting was hosted by the School of Chemistry, University of Manchester. As always, the meeting provided an ideal forum for early career research workers to present their work in an informal environment, either orally or as a poster. Established researchers, from both academia and industry, also attended the meeting as delegates. A diverse range of topics was presented, covering all magnetic resonance related disciplines, including small molecule characterisation, solid-state NMR, imaging and molecular biology.

To complement presentations given by early career research workers, overview lectures were delivered by Professor David Middleton (University of Lancaster) and Dr Mathias Nilsson (University of Manchester) on ‘Adventures in Biomolecular Design and Solid-State NMR’ and ‘Pure Shift NMR’ respectively. The meeting was sponsored by Thermo Scientific and the Royal Society of Chemistry, and prizes were awarded for the best oral and poster presentations. Judging was carried out by three independent members of the NMR Discussion Group Committee.

The prize for the best oral presentation was awarded to Davy Sinnaeve (Ghent University/University of Manchester), for his work on Ultrahigh resolution 1H – 1H coupling measurements, by Professor Gareth Morris (NMR DG Chairperson) and Dr Andrew McLachlan (Thermo Scientific).

The prize for the best poster presentation was awarded to Giulia Bignami (University of St Andrews) for Solid-state NMR Characterisation of 17O- and 29Si- enriched Zeolites by Professor Gareth Morris and Dr Matt Cude (Analytical Methods, Royal Society of Chemistry).

Both prize winners have been invited to make oral presentations at a joint Anglo- German NMR Discussion Group meeting which will be held at the Technische Universität Darmstadt in September 2015.

The 9th NMR Discussion Group Postgraduate Meeting will be held at the University of Oxford in June 2016, and details of all NMR DG events are made available on our website http://www.nmrdg.org.uk/

Stephen Byard – NMR DG Secretary.
