PM6-ML: The Synergy of Semiempirical Quantum Chemistry and Machine Learning Transformed into a Practical Computational Method Machine learning (ML) methods offer a promising route to the construction of universal molecular potentials with high accuracy and low computational cost. It is becoming evident that integrating physi...

Rigorous first-principles methods are slow for big biomolecules. PM6 is faster but has gaps in complex interactions. Nováček et al. propose PM6-ML (integrated into MOPAC --Molecular Orbital PACkage) achieving near-DFT accuracy for large-scale simulations. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10....

Online Symposium on Molecular Machine Learning on January 16th, organized by the Glorius Group at @unimuenster.bsky.social - with @fjduarte.bsky.social, @kulikgroup.bsky.social, Bingqing Cheng, Matthew Sigman: www.uni-muenster.de/Chemie.oc/gl.... Registration is free and highly recommended!

PLOS receives $3.3M grant to support Open Access publishing & business model transformation - The Official PLOS Blog Note: PLOS issued the following press release on Tuesday, December 10. PLOS has been awarded a $3.3million grant from the Bill &amp…

We're excited to announce a generous $3.3M grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. This support reinforces our mission to inspire new transformative open science models and pioneer a shift away from traditional publishing models and APCs.

Finally!

For those following the @prof-ajay-jain.bsky.social /Cleaves/ @wpwalters.bsky.social preprint re: DiffDock @gcorso.bsky.social

I have read some of the back-&-forth between the author groups

As a practitioner in the field for > 20 yrs (academic side), here is my take: 🧵

I was taught in grad school that scientists should have 3 versions of talks about their work ready: a 30 second “elevator pitch,” a 12 minute conference length talk, and a 40 minute seminar length talk.

I think we should also have a short version aimed at non-scientists.

A single mutation in bovine influenza H5N1 hemagglutinin switches specificity to human receptors In 2024, several human infections with highly pathogenic clade 2.3.4.4b bovine influenza H5N1 viruses in the United States raised concerns about their capability for bovine-to-human or even human-to-h...

H5N1 , we are one mutation away from Human-to-human transmission. I hope that lessons from the Covid pandemic have been learned .

@dereklowe.bsky.social honing in on the same bottom line message from @wpwalters.bsky.social @prof-ajay-jain.bsky.social

it's so true and hits so hard:

We're excited to work with @omsf.io OpenADMET and @polarishub.io to bring you this blind predictive modeling community challenge!

If you're developing predictive models for drug discovery---potency or ADMET---here's your chance to test them prospectively on real discovery data from ASAP!

Hey 👋 I'm new here and I did my best to compile some starter packs to help other new people in the same community!

I probably missed some people so please help me update my lists :)

- Drawio (for drawing diagram and flowchart)

Scientists, academics, researchers: We’re excited to share that @altmetric.com is now tracking mentions of your research on Bluesky! 🧪

🚨Our Machine Learning Force Field Mattersim is now available! 🚨

Check it out here 👇

I didn’t know I could REPL Python in a notebookesque way like this. TIL!

Doing good science is 90% finding a science buddy to constantly talk to about the project.
