ChatGPT has decided that it would be best to explain things to me in a completely random combination of English, Arabic, and Bengali... 🙃

The people love LaTeX. I used to as well, but the journal is going to massacre the formatting anyway, so I figure why bother...

For some reason, I actually forgot this existed!

My laptop's backspace key no longer works. Perfection from here on out, folks!

Searching "vibrational frequency" on Google image search does not get what you might think...

I'd probably do the same! Love it.

Every time I pass the Bayway Refinery when traveling from NJ to NY I always give it a big chemical engineering salute. 🫡

Thank you! I am thankfully on the mend now, but I give influenza A a big "F". As one of my students put it, this experience means I am "now officially part of the Princeton community." 🫠

Hope you stay well!

There is a pivotal time in one's life where you get the flu and think "ah, yes, it is clear now how people die from this, and I am surprised I'm not dead myself."

I have learned about the "Princeton Plague" from my wonderful students. But I really did not need the first-hand experience.

😂 Sadly, the doctor's orders are not permanent...

I had a minor medical procedure earlier today requiring anesthesia, and my doctor made me promise not to grade any final exams this afternoon. Fair enough. 😂 Not sure if it would help or hurt them. Probably they'd all get 100s.

They have to leave *something* for future work!

Alright, I'm intrigued.

This is my YouTube-recommended shorts. It has everything I could want to watch. Birds, Bo Burnham, some random tomb of cheetos, and... @aronwalsh.github.io. 🔥

Whenever I see the framing of "YYY made a deal", I usually think it's a good investment or partnership…

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 🧪

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.

So, You Want To Test A Nuclear Weapon? - Funranium Labs I dedicate the following rant to my Lovely Assistant, who can probably recite this by heart now, and Meredith Yayanos who hit boggleface about halfway through an in person version and asked “PLEASE, W...

Me: Where are my keys?!

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