It was an honor to have you Johannes! Thank you so much for the amazing talk!

It was great to talk about #ResearchIntegrity at the
Virtual Winter School on Computational Chemistry
@vwscc.bsky.social #CompChemSky

Thanks again to VWSCC - in particular Sandra Gomez @quimicafisica1.bsky.social - for the kind invitation, and the audience for the thoughtful discussion!

We closed the second day of the Virtual Winter School on Computational Chemistry. Amazing talks with an engaging audience. What a day!
Three more to go!!!!! 😉
#CompChem #VWSCC

Now: Alexander Sokolov is presenting the lecture "From Ground to Excited: Modern Strategies for Modeling Light–Matter Interactions".

Next (19:00 CET): Anne McCoy with "Using Vibrational Perturbation Theory to Explore Spectral Signatures of Vibrational Mode Couplings"

#VWSCC

We are now watching the talk by Dr. Remco Havenith - Introduction to Valence Bond Theory.

Next:

Hi! We have posted videos for many lectures from the 2025 VWSCC. ORCA workshop vids are here & talks by A. Jain, J. Simons, F. Baletto, T. Carrington, N. Hoffman, S. Lehtola, F. Shakib, G. Miscione, C. Matta, V. Erastova. Enjoy! #chemsky #compuchemsky @vwscc.bsky.social zenodo.org/communities/...

So that's it! We wrapped up the 11th edition of #VWSCC on a high note after a fantastic workshop led by @grimmelab.bsky.social. The recordings of the talks will be available on our website soon. ;-)

See you all next year!
#CompChem

@bernadsz.bsky.social Fantastic session at VWSCC! Does the new microsolvation tool necessarily leave the central molecule(s) rigid? (which is okay but I would like to know). Also can a mix of H2O and H3O+ be used?

The #ORCA workshop is on fire right now! WOW!
#VWSCC #CompChem

Come along to our panel discussion where we are commenting on the future of computational chemistry with speakers from the winter school! #VWSCC

What else do we have today?
17:00 CET: Ab-initio Quantum Electrodynamics – a Theoretical Playground for New Quantum Information Devices by Prof. Norah M. Hoffmann. ⚛️💡
19:00 CET: Special Challenges When Studying Anions by the amazing Prof. Jack Simons. 🧪🌟
21:00 CET: SFP Session 2! 📊🎉
#VWSCC #CompChem

Wow, the first day of the 11th VWSCC started off strong! 🚀🎉 Packed Zoom sessions 💻, incredible SFP presentations 📊, and a wonderful lecture, "I Like to Move It, Move It: Dancing Atoms in Nanoparticles and Nanoalloys," by Prof. Francesca Baletto 💃⚛️. And there's more to come today! 🙌✨ #VWSCC #CompChem

SFP submissions are closing Jan 26th 23:59 CET!

Don't miss out! #CompChem #ChemSky

Very exciting! We are looking forward to seeing you next week.

Here's the Single Figure Presentation I'll showcase at the upcoming @vwscc.bsky.social. I'll delve into how dark states and molecular packing influence tetraphenylpyrazine compared to other photosensitizers. Full article: shorturl.at/CAvsj

Registrations for the #VWSCC are closing this Friday! Don’t miss out! 😱
✅ Learn from world-class experts in computational chemistry.
✅ Participate in hands-on workshops with the ORCA and xTB teams.
✅ Showcase your research with a Single Figure Presentation, including a 4-minute live talk.
#CompChem

Students and postdocs-let us have your Single Figure Presentations for the 11th Virtual Winter School on Computational Chemistry, 27th- 31st Jan! You may get to present a 5-minute summary in one of our SFP sessions - a "scientific elevator pitch." Here's an example to get you started. #chemsky

The image shows a countdown timer with the following values: Days: 10 Hours: 13 Minutes: 04 Seconds: 50 The background has a gradient of purple and pink shades, giving it a soft, colorful appearance. The numbers are white, bold, and evenly spaced with labels for each time unit ("Days," "Hours," "Minutes," "Seconds") displayed in a smaller font beneath the numbers.

10 more days! 😉
