NMR Transcends Human Languages
After the Protein Society meeting Dr. Legge and I went to visit his old stomping grounds, the Peter Wright Lab at Scripps. Chiaki Nishimura, a long time postdoc in the lab, has been doing some interesting dynamics as described in his recent paper. As Dr. Legge and Chiaki caught up, I noticed the abundance of NMR materials in Japanese (behind the Enchilosa soup!). The sciences are truly a model for how our common interests binds us as people, and how the sciences transcends our language. We are all the same, basically. Wanting to advance our understanding of what is around us in creation, wanting the best for our children, wanting the best for the people in the world. And yet we as Humanity, and me as an individual, so often screw up, leaving ripples on the glistening surface of reality. Disturbances the echo through space-time. Despite the problems in the world, I love that NMR engages people from every corner of this planet.
