From July 19^th to July 21^st we participated at the NMR School, organized by Dr. Karla Ramírez and sponsor by Bruker, Anahuac, JEOL, and the Mexican Chemical Society. The event took place at the Facultad de Ciencias Químicas from Universidad Autónoma de Chihuahua (Mexico) and was focused on solid-state NMR. More than 30 persons enrolled in the school, from undergrad to phd students and faculty members. I was invited to give two lectures, related to the principles and applications on hyperpolarization methods in solid-state NMR.

The student Brandon Ortega-Cordero, majoring on Engineering Physics and member of my Research Group, enrolled and actively participated in the NMR School.

During the event we had the chance to interact with Prof. Ricardo Manriquez (Universidad de Guadalajara), Prof. Braulio Rodríguez-Molina (Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México), and Prof. José Enrique Herbert (Instituto Politécnico Nacional). We discussed about future collaborations, especially on NMR measurements, internships for our students, and the organization of new NMR schools and topics related. Last but not least, we had the great pleasure to talk with Dr. Gabriel Cuevas González-Bravo, President of the Mexican Chemical Society, looking for alternatives on how to promote science between our countries.

I would like to acknowledge Dr Karla Ramírez for her amazing organization and support before and during the event.
