Update, this discussion will now be held on May 29th.  We were moments from starting when the fire alarm went off in the chemistry building. I'm currently waiting outside as the fire department investigates. Thanks for showing up, and sorry to my guests for the technical difficulties!

Joining me is Andrew from Behind NMR Lines, Chemjobber, Sam (resident devil's advocate), David Dearden (my research advisor), and Matt Asplund (a member of my PhD committee).

You can watch the streaming video right here, starting just after 6:30 MDT.
