NMR Winter School at CEA Saclay, France
Experiments and Modelling in Structural NMR
November 28 - December 2, 2011
INSTN - CEA Saclay, France (20 km South of Paris)
Registration deadline: October 30, 2011
The aim of the school is to provide basic understanding on the coupling of theoretical Modelling and Simulation methods to the Experiments in structural NMR, for biology and material science. This school will therefore cover liquid, oriented media and solid state NMR approaches.
The School is composed of Seminars in the morning and Practical Training (experimental and computational sessions) in the afternoon involving both the theoretical and experimental aspects.
The school covers several topics in the field of structural NMR. In the first part, following an introduction on general principles, the basic knowledge in isotropic and anisotropic media is given. The second part deals with the structural studies of biological systems and materials while the third gives an overview of a some advanced concepts including Hyper-polarization, Fast NMR and Diffusion process.

New EPR book
Multifrequency Electron Paramagnetic Resonance: Theory and Applications
edited by Sushil K. Misra (Concordia University)
Hardcover: 1056 pages
Publisher: Wiley-VCH; June, 2011
Language: English
ISBN: 978-3527407798
http://www.amazon.com/dp/3527407790
http://www.amazon.ca/dp/3527407790
Wiley: "Filling the gap for a systematic, authoritative, and up-to-date review of this cutting-edge technique, this book covers both low and high frequency EPR, emphasizing the importance of adopting the multifrequency approach to study paramagnetic systems in full detail by using the EPR method. In so doing, it discusses not only the underlying theory and applications, but also all recent advances -- with a final section devoted to future perspectives."

MOOT XXIV - first announcement
We are pleased to announce that the MOOT XXIV NMR Symposium will take place October 22nd-23rd (2011) in Toronto, Ontario, hosted at the Hospital for Sick Children and the University of Toronto. The MOOT NMR Symposium has traditionally been a meeting bringing together NMR spectroscopists from across Ontario, Quebec, and more recently the Maritimes and the nearby United States. This trainee-oriented meeting aims to give blossoming researchers the opportunity to present their research to the close-knit Canadian NMR community. Talks and posters will be held at the Hospital for Sick Children, located in the Discovery District of downtown Toronto, and the banquet will be held at historic Hart House on the University of Toronto campus.
In addition, Agilent Technologies will be holding a day long symposium and mixer the day before this year's MOOT (Oct. 21). More information regarding the agenda and location for this symposium will be posted soon and available on http://www.spinsights.net
We are working to update the conference website. Detailed information will be available shortly at http://www.mootnmr.org , with registration and abstract submission for posters and talks opening in early June 2011.
A block of rooms has been reserved at the Delta Chelsea, conveniently located within a 5 minute walk of the conference venue, at a rate of $129/night (double occupancy) - booking details will be posted to the conference website later in May.
Porter Airlines offers a 20% discount on all fare classes for attendees travelling to Toronto for the MOOT NMR Symposium. Porter provides free in-flight snacks and beverages, including beer and wine. Please book online at http://www.flyporter.com Porter. Flying refined.
If you have comments, inquiries, or would like to be added to the MOOT email list, please send a message to mootnmr "at" gmail.com
We look forward to seeing you in October!

PCCP lists 25 most cited Canadian research articles
Physical Chemisty Chemical Physics has announced that the Canadian Society for Chemistry (CSC) is now one of its co-owner societies. To celebrate this new partnership, PCCP has created a collection of 25 top cited articles from authors based in Canada to showcase some of the great Canadian research published in PCCP. Five articles on this list are from Canadian solid-state NMR research groups, including four papers enabled by the National Ultrahigh-Field NMR Facility for Solids. http://nmr900.ca/nmr_news.html#pccp

The National Ultrahigh-Field NMR Facility for Solids and Bruker Canada are pleased to present the 6th Annual Solid-State NMR Workshop at the 94th Canadian Chemistry Conference and Exhibition in Montreal ( http://www.csc2011.ca/ ). The workshop will take place on Sunday afternoon, June 5, 2011, in the Palais des congrès de Montréal.
This annual Canadian solid-state NMR event focuses on the latest developments in solid-state NMR spectroscopy with emphasis on practical aspects and applications in materials and life sciences. The workshop will be of interest not only to NMR spectroscopists, but also to students and other researchers interested in using modern NMR techniques in their research practice.
Confirmed workshop speakers: Alexandre Arnold (UQAM), Robert Attrell (Ottawa), Steven Hartman (Brock), Yining Huang (Western), Karen Johnston (Windsor), Luke O'Dell (NRC), Patrick Walsh (Toronto). Registration for the NMR Workshop is free but space is limited.
