Andrew S. Rosen

I'm trapped in a car with my parents singing Chappell Roan and saying something about "6-7."

Please spare me.

Ah, you can't beat the classics! 😂

Screenshot of a Tweet pointing out that academic spam is actually in its own way kind of encouraging.

I think about this post every day 🧪

Moon Duchin on the ‘Mathematical Quagmire’ of Gerrymandering

Moon Duchin is the coolest!!

Capturing the Complexities of Catalyst–Support Interactions with the Help of Machine Learning Maxson and Szilvási use a machine-learned interatomic potential to model supported silver nanoparticles. They show that the idealized nanoparticle shapes commonly invoked in the computational catalys...

@andrewrosen.bsky.social highlights @tibor-szilvasi.bsky.social’s work using ML potentials to model supported Ag nanoparticles - revealing that idealized shapes don’t match experiments below 8 nm. Read the Highlight: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... #AngewandteChemieNovit

Good to know! Thanks for the update too!

I think part of it is the relative lack of people. But I also think that things go trending more on Twitter, which is both good and bad. The bad is obvious. But the good is that it created unifying experiences for academic Twitter to nucleate around to make it feel part of the same community.

I guess where I'm confused is that the M06-2X geometries will not be minima or TS with wB97M-V, which was used for model training. So, some small amount of strain could have a large impact on things. Maybe I'm thinking about this the wrong way?

(I'm not implying the models will do well after this, to be clear)

Is this a fair comparison though if you are doing a static calculation on a structure from a different level of theory than what was used for the MLIP? I think it'd be more useful to either have the same level of theory or to do the MLIP optimizations here.

I have just been sending this to people. You know, from the last time he pulled this shit www.funraniumlabs.com/2017/03/want...

😅 I feel this...

Me: Where are my keys?!

Me: Oh yeah! They're in the zeolite!

Professor Emeritus Axel D. Becke @dalhousieu.bsky.social has passed away at age 72.

I agree it's a terrible idea, but just a note that this plugin is by a third party -- not Google Scholar.

😂 That will do it! I like your approach.

(I'm not sure how I've gotten this far, I must admit!)

I have been an "inbox 0" person my whole life. This was the first week where I started to doubt if it would be able to remain this way. 😅 Not out of the woods yet... but getting there.

YouTube video by Alberta Tech The *truth* about open source

I've been found out; indeed, all my contributions to open-source software are largely driven by sheet frustration. 😅 www.youtube.com/shorts/Ya5xb...

It continues to be my opinion that if the journals take our work for free, then I should be able to give it to them in whatever (reasonable) format I'd like and let them deal with the rest. Of course, no matter how nicely formatted it is, they often still butcher it come time for the proofs. 😭

Thanks. It has been escalated for a month, so I'm not sure there is room for further elevation but I appreciate you looking into this.

With their most famous application being separations... it is hard to argue with that! Doesn't get more engineering than separations.

To editors of @pubs.acs.org journals, I am sorry but the platform has been refusing to let me suggest alternate reviewers for months and the support team has not fixed the bug. It is not me! 😥 (But I am still sending them in via email... not sure if that is actually reflected in the system or not).

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.
