Many of my university exams allowed this. By the time the sheet was ready, I was well prepared for the exam. It was so packed and written so tiny that it was useless if I didn’t already know the content. 😅

The CP2K Program Package Made Simple CP2K is a versatile open-source software package for simulations across a wide range of atomistic systems, from isolated molecules in the gas phase to low-dimensional functional materials and interfac...

Have you always wanted to use CP2K but found the online manual too superficial and our JCP 2020 code review paper (doi.org/10.1063/5.00...) too theoretical? Then our new overview paper "The CP2K Program Package Made Simple" from the user's perspective is just right for you!

Protein laparoscopy!

Yes, it’s radish on top of trout belly from the local river. It was really delicate and tasty.

Today I had a truly special experience at Clos Vauban (Langres, France). They recently won a Michelin star, and the food was delicious. 💫 But seeing my brother working in the kitchen was even better than the amazing food. 🤩

End of an era. I used Piz Daint for the first time during my MSc in Physics at EPFL in 2015-2016 to study oxygen defects in InAlN semiconductors with QuantumESPRESSO. So sad I had to miss the shutdown ceremony. 🤒

Congratulations Irfan, well deserved!

Just arrived in Grindelwald (CH) for the @snsf-ch.bsky.social #NCCR #MARVEL Retreat & Review 2025. Looking forward to three days of interesting talks and discussions.

Ah! Good to know it might be a “me” problem. When I press Play on iOS, it looks like the stream is about to start, but then it stops immediately. It’s been happening since episode 1. I just tested on macOS, and there it works. I had no issues with other podcasts.

Nice! FYI, for some unknown reason I can’t listen on Apple’s Podcasts app.

We released MDAnalysis 2.8.0 🚀 See the blog post www.mdanalysis.org/2024/11/22/r... . Highlights: (1) all code under the GNU Lesser General Public License, (2) new Guesser API, (3) general parallelization for analysis tools, (3) DSSP analysis class, (4) more MDAKits.
