After more than 28 years of serving the NMR Facility at the University of Ottawa, I have decided to retire at the end of 2020. My position will be posted this fall. What a fantastic job it is managing an NMR Facility! I have learned so much about NMR over the years and have taken great pleasure in helping so many students. I have particularly enjoyed writing this BLOG which was originally intended to answer the frequent questions asked of me by uOttawa students. To my surprise and delight, it has been useful to so many more people than just those at the University of Ottawa. Thank you for reading it.
It is now time for me to move on. Much less of this:
Cheers.

Enjoy your well deserved retirement. There's so much knowledge in this blog, I hope it can get preserved somehow to help guide the next generations of NMR spectroscopists.
Thank you. You have helped me many times, even though I am on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean.
I've loved following your blog for many years, and it has grown into such a valuable resource. I frequently direct many of my NMR users to your pages. Thank you for all your efforts. May your retirement be long and fruitful, and may the fish always bite. Best wishes from Australia.
Enjoy your fishing. The blogs have been very informative, one of the few email reminders that I look forward to seeing. Rob Lewis, Hull, UK

Thanks SO MUCH for your blog - I have learned a ton from it (I hope it will stay up). Enjoy your retirement - it is well deserved.
Glenn, your work in creating and curating this blog are a very valuable asset to the NMR community. I have learned a lot about many topics related to NMR, which have always been presented in a concise and informative way, and often with great examples to illustrate the concepts. I hope that you will ensure that the contents of it remain available going forward, and perhaps even ownership transferred to someone who can take up the torch and continue this great work.
Best wishes in your retirement,

All my best, Glenn, for a most happy and relaxing retirement. You have helped me so many times, I have lost count. Your explanations are direct and to the point and concise. Not only that, they are understandable to both novices and experts. I will so miss getting that email with a new blog post. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Unfortunately, as old as I am, I still can't retire until my younger wife reaches 65 for Medicare. If only I were as lucky as you to live in Canada. Good luck and have lots of fun.
It was a pleasure to listen to your talk and see you in person last year at the MOOT symposium. Hope you enjoy your retirement!

Prof. Facey (Glenn),
In so many ways, I am fortunate to have been your student during my time at uOttawa. I recommend your posts weekly, at least.
Your post on how/why helium fills affect iPhones was beyond interesting.
All the best.

Enjoy your retirement!
All the best,
