With deep sorrow, we share the passing of Prof. Anil Kumar, a pioneer in NMR and visionary in 2D NMR methodologies. His groundbreaking work, including studies in biomolecular NMR and quantum computing, left a profound mark on the MR community. 1/2

With the passing of Alex Pines the world is a bit dimmer today. Alex was a great scientist, but even a greater mentsch. His generosity, empathy and "firgun" were contagious, and turned people from self-centered, into open and caring. May his memory be a blessing יהי זכרו ברוך

I often hear folks say, “Donald Trump sent me a check during the pandemic.” I want to make sure you understand this: Congress sent you a check. By the way, Joe Biden also sent you a check during the pandemic, just like I gave people relief during the Great Recession. The difference is that we didn’t put our names on it – because it wasn’t about feeding our egos or advancing our politics, it was about helping people. So don’t be giving him credit for that. And don’t give him your vote, either. There’s only one candidate in this election who cares about you, and that’s Kamala Harris.

One of the biggest highlights of the ASRC's 10-year celebration was honoring our founder Dr. Gillian M. Small. Without her the ASRC wouldn't exist. Thank you for believing in science and having the vision and courage to create this hub of innovation and excellence, Gillian!
