Salty Chemist

Yep. Probably everyone who has ever published anything has been mined. I know that I don’t own the copyright on most of those works, but STILL. As Tolkien might have said, they could have some “…courtesy for living authors (at least)…” and acknowledge and thank us for our contribution to their work.

Also not seeing it. I count on it for my teaching since I train students on how to use it! Hope it’s just downtime.

I need an explanation please

On the bright side now I’m gonna read your paper. Small victories!

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/...

Those three principles guide everything I try to do in my teaching. “(1) content-richness, (2) coherence, and (3) clarity.”

...and the salt research continues!

Really nice work, congratulations, I am reading with great interest.

Fantastic! Thank you.

The Virtual Winter School on Computational Chemistry (vwscc.bsky.social) was amazing! We thank all the wonderful participants of our ORCA workshop (@faccts-orca.bsky.social &
@orca-qc-official.bsky.social) and the organizers who made this great event possible!

@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?

Registration is closing after today (Friday) for the 11th Virtual Winter School on Computational Chemistry! Please join us for some terrific talks, all are welcome - registration is free, like the best things in life. #chemsky #compchem winterschool.cc

Welcome! #chemsky

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 of an SFP. #bluechem

Can’t wait to try this!

Hey! This is really nice. Did you make this?

Ah, sorry to hear this. One of my academic grandparents, I admired his work greatly.

New Research on How Ammonium Nitrate Forms Atmospheric Aerosols A paper describing research led by Professor of Chemistry Robert Topper has been published online in the Journal of Physical Chemistry A. The first author of the paper is undergraduate chemical engine...

This news was posted just before finals and so for some strange reason it’s taken this long to share this great project we published on ammonium nitrate nanoparticles. #chemsky cooper.edu/engineering/...

Interviewer: Can you explain this gap in your resume?

Me: Actually it’s the Gap. I got a nice employee discount.

Welcome!

Solid, Jack!

Ha!

Thanks man hope you’re well

Very nice

How about trillionaires? The first one is coming up fast.

Absolutely!

That invitation is 100%

Hello #chemsky and #compchemsky ! This is Robert Topper, a computational / theoretical chemist from the Cooper Union in New York NY. Moving over from X, look forward to making new friends here! Oh, and join us for the Virtual Winter School on Computational Chemistry! #VWSCC2025 winterschool.cc
