Me, a computationalist, writing the experimental part of a proposal:

Excellent Nobel Prize. My suggestion for next year: chemical engineering. Nobel himself was an engineer, and the prize awards achievements that "conferred the greatest benefit to humankind". Furthermore, the Prize should also be given to "improvements". When did that happen the last time?

Maybe the Prize is really about the friends we made along the way.

No mention of Jeff Long and family in the cited references is a bit disappointing...

Never heard of 'em.

We interrupt our regular programming to announce…

"We propose that a new and potentially extensive class of solid polymeric materials with unprecedented and possibly useful properties..." Quite a strong opening line by Hoskins and Robson pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1...

My favorite commentary thus far.

Roberto Car and Michele Parrinello are on my #ChemNobel ballot for 2025 and for every year until they'll get it 😎

I love the cake imagery!!

Check out my 'News & Views' on this exciting work, now out by invitation in Nature Chemistry @natchem.nature.com and available to read at rdcu.be/eJitR and www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A beautifully done chemical engineering video!!! We need more of these!! Thank you, @techconnectify.bsky.social!

‘Completely shattered.’ Changes to NSF’s graduate student fellowship spur outcry The announcement comes months later than usual, leaving many would-be applicants stranded

This is no way to run a fellowship program. If eligibility rules were going to be changed, the NSF should have alluded to this earlier or not posted the original funding opportunity at all. It's a cruel thing to do to many of the nation's best and brightest.

I can't remember if you told me either, but here we are! Congrats again! This is all very exciting. So much fantastic science happening in Germany these days. Not a bad place to be.

The dog is not named Autoplex, is it?

Congratulations!!!!!! 🎉

I am thrilled, honored, humbled, excited (and nervous!) to announce that I have recently accepted a position in the Institute of Physical Chemistry at the University of Freiburg! As of this morning I am officially a resident of Freiburg, Germany and I am very excited to soon lead a lab of students!

Congrats Sean!!!!

I will be joining the University of Cambridge as an Assistant Professor in the Yusuf Hamied Department of Chemistry! 🧪🎉

This is me. Anyone who knows me will attest to the fact that I will not rest until the bug is identified and, ideally, squashed. 😅

Everyone always deserves to be treated with respect.

I recall invited talks where people treated me in a hostile manner. I think, while you might that you can make your point, you will cetainly make your institution look poorly

Congrats!!!

Spot on!

Wholeheartedly approve. No President should be above the law, especially those of thermodynamics.

An accurate and efficient framework for modelling the surface chemistry of ionic materials - Nature Chemistry Simulating molecular adsorption on surfaces presents considerable challenges, as computational methods typically suffer from either insufficient accuracy or prohibitive computational costs. Now, with ...

A tough call? Cost vs speed. So congrats to Michaelides and all for their modelling work @natchem.nature.com that asks 'Why not both?' www.nature.com/articles/s41...

U.S. science and universities are becoming political hostages in the Orbánization of knowledge “The fight for science and universities is, at its core, a fight for democracy itself,” writes Carole LaBonne.

Wonderful!!! Go, Prathami!

Today I added geometry optimisation, visualisation of the optimisation trajectories and animation of the vibrational modes (Hessian from finite differences) - hopefully that's enough (for now)!
