Hello Bluesky! I'm Nikita (she/her), an NMR facility manager based in London. Came over for the lovely #NMRchat community, but I also love nerding out over fantasy and classic literature, especially #Tolkien and #JaneAusten. Also an amateur violist 🎻, asexual and British Indian. #AceInSTEM #ChemSky

I don't think AI can handle the transdimensional portals and demons that come out each time a student mistunes the NMR so badly. We know the battles NMR facility managers fight to keep us safe from evil. Thank you. No AI can replace that.

There's nothing quite like struggling through a day's worth of experiments (including the spec deciding to lock onto the wrong solvent just for funsies) and then just before leaving finally - finally! - getting proof of protein-ligand binding 😅 #nmrchat

We're looking forward to it! Especially the opportunity to talk about CcpNmr Analysis and some of the ways the software can be used by people working with small molecules including Peptides or those doing Metabolomics or Fragment Screening.
Just a couple of days left to register for the UK Magnetic Resonance Managers meeting, to be held on 16th June 2025 here at UCL School of Pharmacy! The meeting will involve the usual combination of RTP support, career discussions, instrumentation, NMR techniques, and tips and tricks. #NMRchat
