yubsieI won at prize at the conference! It is exciting! When they were doing the poster prizes, they realized they had one extra and immediately decided to award it to "I don't remember the name, but the lady from the Baines group doing 73-Germanium NMR."
The prize was a desk organizer from Fisher Scientific. I'm definitely more excited about getting to put that I won a poster prize on my CV. :p Apparently they were really happy they discovered the extra prize because they'd really wanted to give me one. He made a comment as he announced it about how it was not an easy nucleus and I may have doubled the known germanium shifts.
I don't think I have, but now that I think of it, I may have doubled the number of known quadrupolar coupling constants, since three of the five solid state papers are pure spinning and one is elemental germanium. :p
It's, uh, easy to do when the number of known CQs is two. :p

Date: 2009-11-30 02:54 am (UTC)It is! Every now and then I manage to work "cosmological constant" into a discussion for the fun of saying it. It also tends to make people look at me somewhat strangely, and I have to admit, I get a kick out of that, too. :P
