Tribute to Jim Emsley

My condoleance to the members of the family of Jim Emsley. I was fortunate enough to meet him during my PhD, when I was working on NMR in liquid crystals, and later in various NMR conferences. He was a great scientist with a deep insight into the physics and chemistry of oriented phases. But he was also an extremely kind person with a touch of British humour. I always enjoyed talking to him. He will be missed.
