The Nexus of Open Science symposium took place on Nov. 14, bringing together leaders in neuroscience, clinical research, biomedical engineering and data science to explore topics ranging from FAIR data and software standards to improving the accessibility of AI tools in biomedical contexts like neuroimaging. Among the talks given, Georg Oeltzschner, Associate Professor of Radiology and Radiological Science at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, discussed a topic that may sound rather familiar to students with Organic Chemistry experience: Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. To those without previous exposure, however, a NMR spectroscopy diagram may just look like a series of arbitrary peaks.
